Dear, Shaun

Thank you for being the most amazing man to have ever come into my life. You taught me how I should be treated and you knew my worth before I did. You pushed me and believed in me and were patient with me and you loved me. Thank you for loving me as hard as you did. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for you. I’d like to think I’d have the guts to call you up and tell you all of this if you were still here but I don’t know if I would. How awful is that. If you read this now you would laugh and probably agree. I’d probably send you an email filled with jokes, testing the friendship ground and eventually we’d admit how proud of each other we are and go on our way. 

Today, I am missing you. Thank you for being you to me. Happy Birthday. I love you.
