Just a few hours ago, I received the devastating news that my beloved cousin, Bryen Allaire, had passed away suddenly at the tender age of 38. My heart is shattered, and the pain is beyond comprehension. It’s an unimaginable loss, and I find myself grappling with the unfairness of it all.
I am overwhelmed with disbelief. Why you, Bryen? It seems so unjust and surreal. Memories of our times together flood my mind, and I am left clinging to the moments we shared.
I will forever cherish those memories, holding them close to my heart. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel today, and our world has lost a soul full of life and dreams.
Just a few days before Christmas, we gathered to watch my brother Brian perform, and little did we know it would be one of the last times we would see Bryen’s infectious smile. He spoke passionately about his plans for the future, expressing gratitude for life itself.
On Christmas Eve, we spoke, and plans were made for us to get matching tattoos. Your excitement and pride were palpable. The last words I uttered to you were, “I love you, and I’ll see you next week.” Little did I know, those words would be our final exchange.
As we navigate this painful reality, I am left with the bittersweet memories of a soul taken too soon. Bryen, you will be deeply missed, and your impact on our lives will forever be felt. Rest in peace, dear cousin.
