I miss you more than words can say. The whole world is less bright without you in it. But I will cherish every moment we shared together and the memories I have of you. They will last forever. It hurts so much you’re gone but I am so grateful for the time we shared together. You brought so much joy and happiness to my life, and I will never forget you. You will always hold a special place in my heart. The world has lost one of its brightest lights and I have lost my best friend, partner and father of our daughter. I can’t do anything without thinking about you and my heart aches from missing you. Although it hurts, I’m so grateful for the time we had and how much you brought to my life. “I’m so grateful for the time I had with you. I just wish it was longer…” Know that our daughter is making you proud and I'm standing tall because of your love and support. I hope you are up there in Heaven at peace and smiling down knowing you touched so many lives and did good. You were amazing there is nobody like you and never will be anyone like you! I love you and will always!
