You were my best friend and I miss you more and more all the time. I miss you bringing ice cream over to our house and telling me stories for hours. I miss your smile and your laugh. You had the weirdest humor and it was great. I hope after all this time you could see me now and you would be proud of me. I was lucky to know you and I am even luckier that you are a part of me always and you made me a better and happier person. I love you with all my heart.
