To the girls who look up to me

Thank you.

You are the reason I try to be a better person. You are the reason I'm trying to stop cussing and why I gave up alcohol and smoking. You are the reason I get out of bed when it feels like the amount of sorrow on my chest crashed on me overnight like an avalanche.

You bring so much joy to my life. You remind me that pure innocent fun still exists. You remind me of the person I am while I encourage you in your lives.

You show me how to love in the fiercest and deepest forms.
