I loved you more than words could hold.
To my daughter — you changed everything.
The mountain at dawn. I was there.
Forgive me. I tried.
We danced until the city went quiet.
I never told you, but I was proud.
Some doors close and never open again.
Here lies a thought no one else knew.
To whoever finds this: keep going.
The last summer before everything changed.
I existed. I felt. I mattered.
Tell her I thought of her at the end.
A small life, lived with intention.
The stars were out the night we met.
You were right. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
This moment, exactly as it was.
To my son — I watched you become someone.
I wrote this at 3am, and meant every word.
