I found myself coming on this page as I randomly thought about you today. It’s crazy how often the number 33 comes into my life and how every single time I see it I immediately think of you. I think of you picking me up from the airport one time when I was little and turning on the lights and sirens for me just so I would feel like the coolest kid. Can’t believe it’s been over 18 years. Miss you.
