“products filling the air all throughout the house. I long for those days like no other. I've been writing a book based on you and Mia. It's about y'alls love story, and it just makes me wish I had that same thing. Maybe I will one day. I'm supposed to be coming home soon, fingers crossed.

“stroke that left you the shell of a man that you previously were. I always hoped that maybe, just maybe, you would be better, that the effects would wear off at some point. They didn't, and you died. It felt like my whole world was about to crumble apart, and in a way it did. Mia's a wreck without you, and so am I. I listen to songs that remind me of you all the time, because it makes me feel like im waking up at the house on a weekend to your music blasting and the smell of cleaning (3)”

“really were my best friend, even though I constantly disappointed you - though you never let it show-. I wanted you to be at my wedding and meet my kids, but now you can't. I'll still have a picture of you in a seat saved at the reception, right next to mia and whichever of your siblings decide to show. I don't have to worry about that just yet, since I at least got a few years. i'm only 16 tata, I should've gotten more time with you. It all halted on April 20, 2022, the day you had that (2)”

“my sweet tata, I miss you dearly, every second of every day. not a time goes by when I don't think, "how would tata feel about this?" I lost you, and it kills me all the time. you were my best friend, and I was never prepared to say goodbye. Little things always remind me of you, like everytime I see someone eat cornflakes with bananas, or those brown sugar poptarts, a frito-lay bag, anything. I think back on memories between the two of us even though I cry everytime. I can't help it. You (1)”
