A first cousin is more like a sibling in many ways, especially when you live in your Grandparents house together for holidays and summer weekends and such. So many memories of good times at the Lake and with family. One of my favorite memories of Charlie is how he used to run around in a red super hero cape. He was probably 6 or 7, so full of energy. He'd be running around climbing and jumping off of things to "fly" in the house and outside in his red super hero cape. We took a picture and I am so glad for the photo of him in his red cape, with his blonde curly hair. Years later, when he could no longer walk, I often looked back at those times and I reminded him on many occasions that he was still a super hero to me. I would send him the photo as a reminder of those days. He always wanted to fly and now he can.
