It is so hard to say goodbye to yesterday but I know you got me in your new home. I love you man and I am going to miss you. I got a chance to get it right and I am going to do that just for me and you. It is hard to explain but I know you are going to be alright in your new home. Man I prayed for you when I got the news and I know God got you now. I not really sure why he took you but I think it was for the rest of us to get it together. But I still hate you had to leave...man.. Alex Smith
