10 years ... seems impossible that you've been gone 10 years today. Maybe it's because you're never really gone. Maybe it's because you're in my heart every moment ... I still hear your voice, your cool hand when my head burns, your soft touch when I'm in pain. I hear you cheering me on and calming me down. You are the better part of my judgment and the best part of my past.
You are more than just with me, I am a reflection of you, the shadow of your smile, an imperfect echo of your joy, the culmination of your life. For that I'll be forever grateful. Love you now and always.
