When I heard that his brother had leukemia my jaw literally drop to the floor I was so surprised. I caught myself beginning to feel bad for him. All along I thought he was this real sweet guy out loud but when he thinking to him self he's this perverted teenager But I felt bad cuz I've known people who had cancer and it's a hard thing to go through. He is still going through it with the red hunting hat that use to be his. Every time he has it on he feels more secure.
