It just doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. I refuse to say goodbye and close that book and chapter, so it’s more like I’ll see you later and I’ll see you when I see you. I love you, dad. While our hearts grieve your loss, may you be free from your mortal shell and free of all the pain this world has brought upon you. While my mind tries to grasp the concept that you no longer walk this mortal plane physically, your spirit, your legacy and memory will live on. So, with all that, I’ll see you old friend. I love you, dad. Thank you. -Dylan
