I miss you every day & I always will. I still wear your old beat-up tee-shirt & still comb my hair with that dumb comb that you loved so much. I will always love you Jayson. Five years gone.

Three years have passed since you left me Jayson, think about you every day. You were a really special unforgettable person. I know you are up there watching over me & making sure I behave myself. I wouldn't have it any other way.
