The first memory I have is watching you in Tommy boy with my parents it's the thing I remember most from the short four years I got with my dad, he loved your movies. Growing up I never knew you had passed away I always thought iId grow up and make people laugh in the same way you did and I'd get to meet you one day and tell you how much you had helped me. But knowing what I know now I never will. Last week I finally decided to dedicate a night to watching "I Am Chris Farley" and it broke my heart and made me want to strive for my passion ever more. Even in your death, you inspire me daily.

When I watch you on SNL it's so apparent that that stage was your home and the place you shined the brightest. You weren't just funny you were so much more than that you were humorous you knew how to make people happy just by feeling yourself and that is the only thing i want out of my life. Everytime i make someone laugh and they ask where i got my sense of humor from and i say you they all question how considering you died two months after i was born and i tell them of how my childhood consisted of watching your movies and your skits and your dry sense of humor just rubbed off on me. I'll always credit you for helping make me the person i am because it would be unfair not to. When i was thinking about blog posts i wanted to make this one was obvious i had to in more than 140 characters on twitter express my gratitude even though you'll never see this. As i watched the documentary and saw people i knew and people i didn't talk about you and how you just had "it" this knack for making people happy and for being the best at it. I wish you didn't struggle and i wish you didn't go the way you did but just know that even know 20 years later you are so missed and appreciated and i hope you are looking down at all the people who you have impacted in this world and can be prpoud of a wonderful thing you've done.
