Courtney made me a softer person, he always pushed me to be more open and to most importantly to let love in. If you knew Courtney you know much love he had to share, and it was impossible not to let his love in because, the boy was, persistent. Courtney and I got to see a lot in the short time we had together, we traveled, laughed, ate and drank all over the world. I’m so thankful for the time we had together, and I know that no amount of time would have been enough for us. Despite Courtney and I never living in the same city, he made himself my home. I’ll love you forever, okay?
