I remember the 1st time I met you in 2017,I'd broken my femur and you were sent to get me to get up and mobile. It was a bad day but you made me do it, you were not my favorite person,and you were scary, but we got there together. I know you and Amanda are together.
Much love , I know you will be missed...
