Words cannot express what an impact you had on my life... The debt I owe to you for never giving up on me and always staying by my side will be an insurmountable task to achieve. I will spend the rest of my life trying to be the man that you have helped me become... The love you showed me over the years is that of which I have never experienced or even witnessed anywhere in the world... You always saw the best in me and never doubted who I could be... Your compassion for myself and others is truly inspirational, and the impact it has on me is life-changing... Your selflessness towards myself and everyone else was on a level that I can only hope to someday achieve... You were without a doubt the most wonderful human being and the most compassionate woman. You literally could never be comparable to another human being... I will spend the rest of my life trying to honor you and live up to the standard that you have set... I know that you would have given your life to save mine and I wish that I could have given mine for yours... There was never a doubt in my mind that your love for me was everlasting and could not be broken... There are 3 parts of my heart, you and my father were two of them... I know that you would want me to continue to be the man whom you have made me become. I will do everything in my power to honor you by being the person that took your whole being to help me achieve... I owe everything to your unwillingness to give up on me, even when everyone else had done so, and thought you to be insane for staying by my side... Your love for me saved my life and I can only hope that somehow you will continue to watch over me and be my rock. Ironically I need you now more than ever, and the despair that fills my heart with your loss is a pain that will never go away... I owe you my life and I hope that I'll be worthy enough to join you when my time comes... I say goodbye to you now, but you will always be my love, my rock, and the inspiration to keep me moving towards the man you saw all those years ago even when I could not see it in myself... I love you, babe. Just know that when we reunite is when my pain will be relinquished. R.I.P.
