Not sure what to say?





January 22, 2025

I can´t fathom that Saturday marks 7 years. I´m not sure how it´s been so long.
There´s not a day that goes by that I don´t think of you. You´re always on my mind, doesn´t matter what I´m doing, I always catch myself thinking of you. I miss you very much, every day. I always smell things that I can´t explain, like the smell of vinegar, and I just know it´s you. I know it´s you letting me know you´re still around.
One thing I can always hear you say, clear as day "My favorite color is Maroon because it sounds like Moron".....
Thank you for being in my life for a little while.
I´ll miss you always, and I´ll love you forever
