you were the definition of what a man father and friend should be. you always making something out of nothing possible you taught me to be in tune with my feelings but not to be overwhelmed. you taught me to be selfless and to refrain from treating people the way they treat me. you made sure my eyes were wide open and ensured my heart was always pure. there are no amount of thank yous worthy enough to explain the honor i feel not only to have known you but to be a portion of everything you were. you are the reason i know happiness is not only possible but achievable.
