I went to buy a Christmas tree for you to plant in memory of you I thought I would just go get one but I was wrong it was the hardest thing I could do I did get you one but it wasn’t easy at all I stood there crying as I looked at the trees. I picked a big fat one its name is fat boy since that’s what I called you.
