so this was my dad.. my best friend.. my hero! he was everything to me, when i lost him i lost a lot of me. He got me through some of the worst days I ever experienced. he made me feel good about myself when all i got was negative comments from everyone else. he always told me that if i believed in myself that is all that matter, it didnt matter what anyone else thought because they arent perfect themselves. he is the reason I am who I am today. I have so many memories with him and i was 12 when he passed away. It kills me all the time to think he will not be here for when i graduate, get married, have kids. But I know that he is better now, and I know he is with me in spirit everyday! I love this guy with everything in me and to this day no one can compare to how great he was. Saying he was the best guy alive is an understatement. He lived his life to the fullest and because of him I am here today as strong as ever. I miss him everyday.. adn I cannot wait to see him again someday!!! I love you dad!!!!
