“You taught me a lot of things, but the most important thing was that you taught me to love and what it feels like to be loved. I can’t have the words to say thank you for becoming the person I am today. I also want to ask your forgiveness for all the times I fought you and I was mean to you, you are and you will always be the joy of this world. All that’s left is to see you in my dreams where I know you’re always going to be,” he said.
