“Never take a second for granted with people you love. This morning, I lost my best friend in the blink of an eye. Words cannot describe the admiration and love I have for my father. He is my role model, I aspire to be like him in every way. Everyday from this point forward I will constantly be thinking of everything he’s taught me, I’m gonna live to make him proud. His heart is unmatchable, no one is like Mike Taylor, Everyday I have left I will spend trying to imitate the amazing person so many people knew and loved. Rest In Peace to the light of my life. I know your with me right now as I type this. I love you forever. You never know how long you have left with someone, cherish the people you love.”
