I love you papa I will forever miss my best friend its taken me a while to understand why God had to take someone so special to everyone.Now I know that god needed a best friend number 2.I bet the reunion of you and Grandpa was special and you told him about everything that's happened since he is gone and He told you everything that's been going on for him . I see you in the skies and Your so pretty.I love you so much and I wish I could have made you more proud but I know you were already proud of me.I wish you could have been there for everything that's left that will be big in my life and I will always save you a spot for everything in my heart and in the world.We all miss you but we know your in a better place.I wish I could have said goodbye but I know that its not goodbye its just see you later.I know it seems strange but those times sitting with you in the hospital was fun even just spending time with you.Even if it was just a few hours it felt like we had been hanging out for years.I wish I could just hear you even if it was just one more time.I love you best friend.You will forever be in my heart.I cant wait to hang out with you again.Miss you best friend. I Love you so much
