Song by Michael Jackson ‧ 1989
Like many of us, growing up, AJ wanted to fit in with the cool crowd. I think he often thought he wasn’t cool because he gave more than he got. He wanted to be friends with everyone. He was the type of friend to always have your back and be there for you even if that wasn’t always reciprocated. Those that did got a lifelong brother. The type of brother to talk endlessly about a benchwarmer on his favorite sports team whose name you didn’t know, but then would genuinely listen as you talked about your favorite thing. More than anything he was a giver, often when he had little to give. More than once he’d call all the siblings asking for money that he lent to someone else in need. He had the biggest heart and whether
he knew it or not, that made him the coolest little brother I could’ve asked for.
