To my best buddy,
Right now I'm sitting in your chair at a loss for words. I am filled with so much sadness almost to the point of being numb. Shadow keeps crying and looking for you and we're all waiting for you to come out of your room and say hello. We're all waiting for your text back and one of your jokes to make us smile again. You always knew how to make anyone smile in any situation. Every person you met, you made them smile and laugh and although you didn't like people too much, people loved you. I am forever grateful to have you and mom as my parents and I am so lucky to have the coolest and most amazing mom and dad in the whole world. I know that mom and I were your world and you loved us more than anything else and we will forever feel the same about you. And don't worry about mom, I am taking care of her and both her and I will make you so proud dad. I will always remember all of our fun memories and all of the lessons you have taught me. I will continue having a good head on my shoulders and a kind heart, just like you did. I'm going to make you proud dad. I will always be your best buddy and I will always love you with all my heart and I will keep you with me always.
With so much love,
Your best buddy
