Tribute

3 Years ago on the 27th of this month you passed away.  There’s never a day that passes where I don’t think about you. I miss you so much there’s no simple way to put it. You were the glue that helped keep my together and somewhat in one piece. I know it sounds like a lot but you were the one consistent piece in my life. Nothing changed with you. It was always the same for the most part and it is what I needed. Something stable in the life and situations I was in. I could come visit you granted it wasn’t as often as I should have but you would always put a smile on my face and I would do the same for you. Nothing could change that. Now that your gone I can cry and be more open with my emotions and cry tears of joy knowing you aren’t in pain any longer. I smile right now because I know that you are in a better place then you were. I feel you knew that this wasn’t your  time but somehow you accepted it and moved on. That’s just it. Some of us don’t want to move on but I’ve came to terms with it. And with that you have made me a better person. I get told I act like you a lot of the times. I’ve mellowed out more then I thought I ever could. I have memories and tributes to you that Ill never lose or forget. You were the father I never really had in my life when you could be there. You kept me safe for as long as you could. You saw me for who I was not what other people saw me for. If there was anything you wanted me to be the person I wanted not what other people wanted me to be. For that I can’t thank you enough.
