I will always remember that cheeky smile. Watching Dances with Wolves over and over again until I wanted to throw that video away. Singing for me when we were hiking so I would forget how hard it was. Rushing around trying to get you ready for breakfast so we could be the first ones in line. And, always asking to borrow my car despite the answer always being the same. Forever in my heart and thoughts.
