I miss and love you. I wish you were still here to see how big I've gotten. I miss going fishing with you. The memories we made I will never forget just like I'll never forget you. I love you. Every time I think about you I start crying. I'm 14 now. My dad always tells me of times I was too young to remember. ❤️😭❤️😭
