12．The phrase"live，love and laugh''was one my cousin Roger lived by every day of his life．Even in his sickness，he found the positive in what some would see as a negative situation．He enjoyed life．He loved to laugh and most importantly，he lived life to the absolute fullest．He loved to travel，1earning new things about different people and their culture．
Roger was born and raised in Alabama，and he then moved to Buffalo，New York where he lived for many，many years until he relocated to Atlanta，Georgia，his final resting place．
Whether his travels were long visits or short visits，large cities or small towns，his favorite souvenir item was T-shirts．Everywhere he went he would buy a T-shirt to remind him of his travels．Every T-shirt he owned had a story behind it that he would share with others．
As long as he was laughing，living and traveling，he was happy．He loved everybody he came in contact with and everybody loved him．The old saying，"He never met a stranger"，definitely applied to Roger and his life．
His last few years of life were in and out of the hospital at least l0～15days a month，sometimes more．Two weeks before he passed away，I spoke with him on the phone，and even then he managed to tell jokes about life．
I know he left this world happily；he refused to allow anything or anyone to hold him down，even his severe illnesses．He was definitely a model to look up to when it comes to not allowing any situation to keep you from moving forward in life．
1will forever miss his smile and his love for life．My cousin Roger knew the true meaning of the phrase"live，love and laugh"．
