God I miss you everyday.. I'm thinking about you right now at 12 am.. my heart hurts.. I can't believe you're gone.. I miss your voice.. your touch.. your laugh.. your happiness.. your smile is contagious and i could be having the worst day and you'd always make it better.. your hugs were so warm and I always felt the love in each one.. you cared about everyone one and you were selfless.. I wish you were here.. I wish I got to spend a day with you.. one last time.. I'd do anything for that.. you didn't leave because I feel you here with me everyday even if you aren't here physically.. I love you so much and I miss you beyond words could describe..
