But he would not want that. Austin, my daddy, is about positivity and laughter and big dreams.
So even though I am still sad, ten years later, I will focus on how grateful I am that he is my father. I am grateful for the guidance he still provides. I am grateful to know that he brought love and joy to so many.
Today I will continue trying to make him proud, even as I know he already is, always was.
Much love to all who see this, and all who loved him. I know he sends his love to us here, and is cracking jokes with the friends that have joined him in the world beyond.
