Without you around I have to work a little harder to entertain myself.<br>I hope you know that I\u2019m trying each day to be better \u2014 I gave up on any idea that I could ever be as good as you were\u2026. I\u2019m not sure anyone could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you went to Heaven, not only me, but a lot of people lost their best friend. I don\u2019t know how you managed to have so many best friends. I can never fill that role, but I\u2019m trying to stay in touch with many of them. I don\u2019t think they expect much from me, so maybe I\u2019m living up to their expectations.&nbsp;<br>Every minute, every single day, and every night, I think about you. You are the one who gave my life meaning and helped me face my worries. You helped me learn a lot of lessons and things to believe.<br>The best day of my life was the day you came into it, and the worst day was the day you departed. When you last let go of my hand was when all my joy vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will never be the same without you here \u2014 I miss you so much. But today is about you \u2014 and I intend to celebrate.
