ik mis jou

Dave Wilkinson,
my mentor,
my teacher.

I wish you were still alive today. I wish you would have lived to see me graduate. I wish you would have lived to cheer me on. I wish you would still be able to answer all my physics questions. You had so much patience. You had so much hope. I miss you so much. I miss having someone who believed in me so much and was so wise.

My world is richer for your having been in it and lesser for your being gone now.

You were amazing to me.
