Jacob & Ambrose

To the man that has given more to me than almost any other person I've ever met. Who won bingo and gave me his prize, who hand fed me treats daily, who encouraged me to make food for any houseless person in need and anyone who came in for deliveries. To the man who gave me a big hug and a smiling face even at 6 in the morning buried by hand boiling hundreds of bagels. The man that immediately believed in me and asked me to bring home the menu for howdy and give him any feedback during my first interview . To the man that breathed so much life and love into me from the moment I met him. I will love you forever.

Never in my life has someone made me feel so instantly like I'd found home. To have one more moment of dancing to insane music in the back of howdy cackling loudly. To have him tell me how much he loved my laugh and to point out any moment he felt I was unknowingly making someone's life better. He effortlessly made every space he walked into feel so safe and welcoming.

I'm so happy that the last time we spoke I got to tell you how much we loved being at howdy even when the work was so SO hard. Everything I did at howdy was to make you and Daniel happy and proud . I love you and I'll miss you forever.
