You gave me the ocean,  by teaching me to walk into fear with a heart full of love and a head of optimism. This is one of my earliest and fondest memories. You came to see us in Hawaii, you visited every place we where. But you saw I was afraid of the ocean so you found away to show me its beauty. You filled my pockets with frozen vegetables, I remember how cold I was. And you held my hand and walked with me into the water insuring me the whole time things will be great. Before I knew it we where surrounded in a rainbow of tropic fish, all kissing at my hands for those darn vegetables. All my fear melted away and that day the ocean became my best friend. You gave that to me. You gave an ocean to a very lonely girl, and always took the time to remind me that I might feel alone but I always have you as family. Thank you for never losing sight of me, thank you for accepting me as your family, thank you for all the love like the ocean. Someday we will be together again, I know this. Till then give the rest of our family a big hug and kiss, tell them I miss them and will continue on kind and strong like we do. An ocean of time and space may now be between us, but in love I will always find you.
