Julius may have been man-sized and a rising football star at 17, but we will forever remember him as the silly and energetic little boy who loved to play dress up, would belt out Hamilton tunes with my son, and would never turn down a chance for a light saber battle. I remember in 7th ot 8th grade, my husband picked up Lochlan from the house and the two boys were engaged in a very heated and dramatic light saber battle. My husband came home and said "I can't believe this boys are STILL playing like this - aren't they a little old for it?" But, at the end of the day, it didn't matter how old or big Julius and Lochlan got, they were still the same silly little boys from second grade.
