You passed away exactly 7 years ago today. I never ever wanted to see you go, ever. You were and still are a beacon in my life. You always saw the best in me and always encouraged me to do well. You loved me unconditionally even though I'm far from perfect. So it was so unfair and devastating when I had to say goodbye to you. I was a complete disaster for a long long time without you. I didn't think things would ever get back on track. But I made a promise to you that I would do well for myself and the family before you had to go. It took a while but I've learned a lot in 7 years. I didn't always have the greatest friends in my life but I've been working on myself so I can attract the right people and keep my distance from people who aren't a good fit for my life. That only positivity and love can truly help me move forward and excel in life. You always told me that there is no substitute for hard work. I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm working hard and I'm with a good company right now and travelling a bit. I've got good people in my life now. I wish you could have met them but I'm sure you would love them too. I'm doing so much better now and it's thanks to you. I'm not at my full potential yet but I'm getting there. I'm hustling and working hard to make myself the family, all my loved ones and especially you proud.  I still think about you all the time and I miss you so much but I know you're still watching out for me somewhere in the universe. I love you.
