Kelly Ogawa was my half brother and passed away a couple of weeks ago. We both had the honor of having the same father. Kelly was born with many physical challenges and managed to overcome so many life obstacles. Kelly was the oldest grandchild to Grandma and Grandpa Ogawa and was named after my uncle Kelly (Dad's brother) who passed away from Leukemia at age 18. He was much older then I was and we didn't have a very close relationship, but I still respected his life and now legacy he has left behind. He worked with social security for over 20 years. He will be missed by many.
It's nice to get to see family, but not in situations like these. We still made the best of it because that's what he would have wanted us to do.
