You always think they will live forever because you will always need them. But they don't. The pain will lessen with time, that place where they live in your heart remains. Fill that place with happy memories. Much love to all of you.

I know this man
Who is dear to my heart
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart
This man taught me things
over the many years
That I needed to know
not only a friend but also like
a dad to me. Miss you Mr. Z
