For the rest of my life, there will be a piece missing from me. I find so much comfort and strength in knowing that you knew how much I loved you, and you never let me forgot how proud of me you were and how much you loved me. From the time I was little and for the rest of my life, you will always be my "team". I couldn't have asked for a better Dad, role model, and partner in crime. You were there for me through so many of life's ups and downs, and I could never thank you enough. I am beyond grateful you were able to see so many important milestones in my life.
My favorite memories of you will help me go on throughout this next phase of life without you. I know you'll always be watching over me and supporting me through the decisions I make.
Some of my favorite memories include: going to Colorado with you (after I cried when I found out I wasn't going on a tropical vacation for spring break), taking me fishing, when you "saved my life" (and never let me forget it), the first day you got your corvette and you picked me up from high school with the most embarrassing hat and music, driving me and my friends to school, watching our favorite shows (Bachelor & Kardashians), always keeping up with the crazy drama and stories in my life and your nicknames for all my friends. I could go on and on, but this would be longer than you're obituary at this point.
Thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made and all the little things in between. You will forever inspire me to be better, to do better, and above all else - be a good person.
Forever your little girl,
Heaven
