Payton,
Do you remember when we were 10 and we’d ride around the yard in the go-kart? I think one of the funniest moments we had was flying around the garage too fast and we scared the horse! What about the times we raced our bikes up and down the street or when you tried to show me how to use my skateboard? Oh man, do you remember when we both got detention and we pretended like we didn’t know each other well so we could sit next to each other. I never got to thank you for helping out my dad with mowing the yard. Thanks for letting me be a “princess” a little longer haha. I’m going to cherish the time we rocked out to Hairball at the fair and when you and Ana joined us at Night Eyes. I hope Heaven feels like our childhood summers. I’m going to miss you man. Thanks for being my friend.
