Zachariah,

I never thought I’d see the day that I wouldn’t see your face. Looking back, God, I wish I had known that I’d love you then have to let go, ’cause you brought out the best in me. You always saw a light no one else could see. I know that you’re gone, but I promise I won’t forget. I wish that I could call you up just to hear your voice … that would be enough … and we’d laugh like we’re back at the start and pretend we’re not falling apart. And sometimes we would hurt each other, but you saved me from going under. We didn’t last forever, but I won’t forget ya. Thanks for the memories. Here’s to the memories! I miss you more than you know.

Lord Williamson,

Thank you for all the memories, ’cause you’ll never know what it meant to me. You were the one who gave me peace when no one was left and sat close to me at my loneliest. You couldn’t last forever, but I won’t forget ya. Thanks for the memories. Here’s to the memories! I miss you more than you know.

Papa,

Thank you for all the memories, ’cause I’m sure You know what they mean to me. (They mean that I’m still alive and well enough to remember them.) You are The One who gives me peace when they’re no one left and hold me close at my loneliest. Here’s to all my beautiful memories!
