     "Son, we all know there isn't a perfect person. It's the moments in your life that makes you special. The times when you would give me a hug when I needed it. The times you were excited about a new song and shared it with me. When you wanted me to make you pizza for supper, because you couldn't get enough pizza. Those are the moments that will remain with me always. See you later son, when we will share those moments again." -Mom
