It’s so hard to put into words just how much you mean to me, and it completely breaks my heart to know I won’t get to feel the warmth of your hugs anymore, or just pop in to say a quick hello. I know whenever I need you that you will be sending me signs or watching over us, because if anyone was made to light up the night sky in heaven, it’s you. With all your flashing hats, glowing ties, and light-up glasses, there’s no doubt you’ll be the brightest, most joyful star in the sky, watching over every single one of us.
Nite nite, God bless, love you xxx
