IN MEMORY OF ASKIA
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. YOUR MEMORIES ARE SO MANY. I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU WERE NOT JUST THE LEARNER BUT WAS ALSO THE TEACHER. YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT MYSELF AND ABOUT NON-JUDGEMENTAL, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. YOU OPENED MY EYES.

I PROMISE AND VOW TO YOU THAT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU GAVE ME WILL NOT BE LOST BUT WILL BE GIVEN AND USED THROUGHOUT MY LIFE AND WILL BE GIVEN TO THE NEXT LITTLE STEP SISTER OF YOURS.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I MISS YOU SO MUCH, WITH THAT COMES PAIN BUT IT PROVES ONLY HOW MUCH LOVE I TRULY HAVE FOR YOU IN MY HEART. THAT MAKES ME SMILE. YOU WERE MY COMPANION, MY BUDDY AND MY BEST FRIEND THAT GOT ME THROUGH THIS YEAR.
ASKIA, YOU HAVE MADE ME A BETTER MAN.
I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY BUT WE'LL TALK AGAIN SOON.

WE'LL SEE YA AGAIN SOON LITTLE GIRL BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WATCH OVER ME. LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER, GOODBYE FOR NOW.
