I love you dad, You we're and still are my role model till the day we meet again. There's not enough words to describe this emptiness i'm feeling. I know it'll never get better i'll just have to toughen up i know that's exactly what you'd tell me to do. I spent hours just calling your phone to hear your voice again on your voicemail this morning. I really don't know how to move forward from this. you were taken and we weren't ready to say goodbye yet. There was so much more for us to experience with you. I feel like a piece of me is gone. This all feels like a bad dream that i can't escape from. You were the man i'll always aspire to be, the absolute coolest/best father any young man could ask for in this life. You've taught me countless invaluable lessons that i'll never forget or let go of. You taught me how to stand up for myself, how to have confidence no matter what, to "keep your shoulders back" and never let people see you weak, you taught me how to be a man. I'd give my life to save yours. You were my best friend. I'll always miss video game nights and talking s**t to people in the family discord. You knew how to get my mind off anything i thought was a big deal and made me realize the bigger picture no matter what. I'd do anything to hear you call me your mini me just one more time. to feel your huge hands give me one more hug. for you to call me kiddo again. I love you more than life itself for ever and always - your mini me.🖤
