I come here every now and then to re read your obit.
Been a long 6 years.
And a lot had changed.
I still get a quick burst of energy to call you about something.
Every now and then I'll quickly forget your gone for a split second.
My world hasn't been the same without you, but you told me to adapt. My life doesn't end when yours does. I'm so thankful you told me to do that.
You da best.
