Time to Vent... My Username So, a few days ago someone asked

Time to Vent...
My Username
So, a few days ago someone asked me about my username and I guess it really is confusing. You know, what it means and stuff, so I'm gonna tell you. It is kind of personal, but I really don't really mind sharing. 5 years before I was born, my parents adopted a little baby boy named Hanley. He was super healthy and happy. 5 years later, I was born. As I grew up and got two more sisters, Hanley became my role model. I followed him in everything he did and he showed that he cared for me. He showed me how to play soccer and how to ride a bike. When Hanley was 16, he started to getting sick with what seemed like the stomach bug, but what was later discovered to be a tumor. He had skin cancer. It was pretty severe and, long 6 month fight short, cancer overcame and Hanley passed away. Hanley was my big brother and even though he was adopted, blood doesn't matter, I loved him.

HOA=Hanley Owen Asbenn
47=Hanley's soccer number
smile=My mom, sisters and girlfriend remember him best from his smile

RIP Hanley Owen Asbenn
February 15, 1994-September 30, 2010

I havent been on Witty in 4ever and I barely came on again today. This was the 1st quote that made me sign in and click the heart. Also this somewhat is similar to Mia Hamm and her adopted bro Garrett

I may not know you personally, but I read your quote and your story and it truly touched me. I know how it feels to be loving and protective of your brother (I have a little brother of my own) and I know I would do anything in the world for him. I just wanted to let you know how touching your story truly is (:
