    I miss you. I wish you would have stayed with us. All I can think about is all the living I’ve done from 24 till now and how you won’t have those years. All the times I had with my dad and your dad. The years we all lived together, partied together, struggled together. All the time I spent seeing this great country. The laughs,the tears, and all the little things in between that lead up to them. I will never forget you and one day we’ll be roommates again.
