I don't even have words to express how much I miss him.
Sure, there were times I disagreed with him.
There were times he disappointed me.
But, honestly, I slept better at night, knowing he had our backs.
He wasn't perfect.
But he was steady, he was smart, he was good-hearted. He was genuine.
He worked hard, and it showed on his face, those 8 years.
I miss you, man.
You've earned your retirement a thousand times over, but I sure do miss you.
edit: Ooops! As was pointed out down thread, I misspelled his first name! Now corrected. My weak excuse is, I had a horrible headache and was on strong painkillers at the time I posted this thread.
