I want to say thank you

If you were still here I would say thank you.  I regret not telling you how grateful I am for all that you taught me and shared with me over the years.  So often I find myself wanting to call you and tell you what I'm doing for the mere fact that it would make you happy living vicariously through my experience.

Thank you for teaching me how fun it is to explore.  To take that extra side road just to see what's waiting at the end.  To look less at my phone on trips and more on the beautiful scenery around because the journey there is part of the adventure.  Thank you for showing me the value in getting excited about local businesses and eclectic shops.  Every time I go to a place like that I feel a mixture of appreciation for the new memory but sadness because the first thing I want to do is call or text you and tell you all about it, and then plan a trip so you can appreciate it too.  It's going to be six months tomorrow which is hard to believe. I am used to not seeing you for a long period of time because I moved away but the fact that you won't be there when I do come home sucks.

It hurts so bad to have lost you because you were just such an awesome person and so I really have to be thankful for how hard it is live without you because that just shows how much you blessed us all while we were lucky enough to have you, so thank you for that.
