We made it. You and me, 23. And I can attest to the fact that really no one likes you when you're 23. Never thought I would make it. It's unreal. At 23, you pushed and pushed and never let anything stop you from living life to the fullest. You lived more than most people in their entire lives and changed more lives than I could ever hoped. For the longest time I had this void that I didn't deal with. I can say that I have now. I grieved and I worked through my issues. I have amazing friends and an even more amazing family. Erik is my bestfriend and I see you in him all the time, he keeps me focused and makes me actually think. Best man I know. I love you Mom. I don't know where I'm going, but I know you're right behind me.
