Nana. My best friend and role model. You have left such an impact on my life on this earth and are in my heart always and forever. You were my partner in crime and always will be. I will miss all the laughs, funny videos, talks, and things we would do together. My biggest hero, Curler Girl, was always willing to fight for me and hold my hand when I needed it. I know you are looking down on me proud of the man I am today, and I wouldn't be where I am without you. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you. As you always said to me, I love you to the moon and back πŸŒ™πŸ’œ
