He continued, 'I love you with every ounce of my body and I miss you so much already.'
'You made me a better man. You made me the person I’ve always wanted to be.'
'You’ve taught me more in your 8 months than I’ve learned my whole life.'

'I don’t know why you’ve been taken away from me and my heart aches in your absence.'
'But I promise you that your name with live on,' Ashley wrote.
'I will carry your name across every ocean, along every road, to the top of every mountain and across the whole globe.'
'Your name will live, your legacy will be remembered and I will seek peace in living as your vessel to continue inspiring, giving strength, spreading joy and saving lives in your name, with your spirit, as your father until we meet again.'
'You saved my life, you really did,' he continued.
'With my second chance, I make a promise to you that I will make yours live on in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers.'
'I am blessed, I am honoured and I am privileged to be your father.'
