Yesterday was your birthday, and I realize how much my life is forever changed without you. I learned so much from you, and just wish I hadn't taken our time for granted. Since i was little, you were always the hero, and in my mind, you were immortal. I thought, no matter what, it was going to be okay, since until then, it had been. I realize how childish that was, and how that thinking made a bad situation so much worse. I love you dad, and I miss you more than i know how to express.
