One year without you. Still doesn’t feel real. I miss you more than anything, and I’m grateful for every moment we had.
You taught me how to live fully, how to enjoy life, not take things too seriously, and trust that everything will work out. I carry that with me every day.
You were the most fun dad, but also the most grounding presence in my life. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you or feel the impact you had on who I am becoming. I miss you beyond words. I love you always. And I’ll keep living in a way that honors you.
