Ba, I am going to miss all of your jokes, our movie nights, our conversations, your crazy stories, all of the nicknames you gave everybody that you met, the way you made me laugh so much, and most importantly, how much you loved everybody. I am so blessed that I got to have such a special bond with you. Thank you for all of the times that we got to spend together. I love you forever and already miss you so much.
