John Julian "Jay" Tan III (a.k.a. Bounce): September 1, 1975 to February 25, 2008

Bouncey...

Here's to that first fateful date that you witnessed

(And the many others that you heard of...)

To all the tears that you caught

With every time that my heart broke

(Whether through my own fault or otherwise)

And the big, warm hugs that you generously gave

Here's to conversations about your Dewey and my Ravi

(Or whatever name we would have called them)

And how they would have been best friends

Here's to the debut that you hosted oh-so-well

And the wedding that would have been your show

Here's to pillow talk

And DVD days

To Hablo con Ella

And Y Tu Mama Tambien

Here's to all the looooooong nights

Talking on the phone

About your ___

And my ____

And everything else in between

Here's to the temper tantrums

That only YOU witnessed

And to everything that you meant to me

You were one of my Top Three

My big brother

My best friend

The guy that would have seen it all

I WILL MISS YOU TERRIBLY,

MY DEAR, DEAR BOUNCEY.

Even after you're gone

Only YOU will be able to call me

Your little sister, Niney.
