“Derek- here I sit, still in shock and pure disbelief of you no longer being here. My heart still aches. Tears still stream down my face. I think of you daily. I listen to Thrive, Black Honey, the song you had me listen to that you said best describes you. I think of every time we shared, the good and bad. I remember your voice, I play it over and over in my head. I remember the last time I was at your house, hugging, you singing the part from The Notebook when they dance in the road. I MISS YOU!”
