watching you go as I was holding your hand was one of the toughest things i have ever had to do. I love and miss you so much. I hope you are looking down on me right now and smiling cause you have inspired me to do some amazing things in life. one thing you told me was to keep playing soccer and go through everything. well i will continue to do so and i know now you will be watching every game from upstairs. today I will be giving you a signed robert morris university mini soccer ball so you always have me with you!
