\"\"Damn, man it’s great to see you again… I was hoping the last time we talked wasn’t the way it was going to end…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have so much to say and not sure how long I have to say it,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
thank you for making a man out of me<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
if it wasn’t for your Leadership I wouldn’t be in this position that you see..<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You were my mentor my teacher my friend, my savior and means to a end…. Of an old life that wasn’t me, I was immature and not ready for reality<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But the lessons I was taught I carry with me daily… It’s the way I live my life and it’s paid off greatly….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want to make a promise to you that you will have never died in vain, I will be successful no matter what even if it drives me insane…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I owe you that much for the things you sacrificed, your family your kids and even your life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Imagine how vulnerable we felt, to lose a man of your class, wasn’t something we were trained to do no matter how much time can pass<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But I am getting strong with more time that goes by….<\/div>\n
but sometime feel like I forget about you if I don’t acknowledge the anniversary that you died…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I not sure what you want me to do… Can I get some advice maybe a hint or a clue<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I need to know its ok to move on, I can’t let that day kill me that day it did you…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
because if I did then those bastards got me too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I refuse to let you die in vain… I will keep pushing to be successful until it drives me insane<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sorry I am talking off your ear there is just so much I want to tell you, so much I need to get clear…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What was that? You want to know how your family has been?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh… They been good man… From time to time Me and the boys check on them….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Little Jonny’s playing baseball now and has a great swing a real natural you know…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You should see him now…<\/div>\n
He is getting so big and You would recognize his smile…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0it’s like a carbon copy of you as a kid….<\/div>\n
When he is with his friends he has the same laugh you did…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your daughter Victoria, she is dating now… I know I know it isn’t how…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
it’s been 7 years… And she’s 16 now…<\/div>\n
Don’t worry too much brother we always have close sight, she’s a good kid man, you raised her right.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How’s Kelly… Well she remarried last year… He’s a police officer , lol he’s not a Ranger… It’s nice to see Kelly’s no longer a single mother…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He treats the kids good but not sure if you want to hear, they have their own child now his name is Hunter and he is almost about a year…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I think It’s good to see them live… They were so lost for sometime and something had to give…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Come to think of it, I should take my own words to heart, because life since you left, I haven’t let it start…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They moved on… And I think it’s time I do to…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you for your guidance and for your families strength.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gone but never forgotten<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you for your sacrifice, it won’t be in vain\u2026<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I will start living this life that I have been given….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you for visiting me in my dream…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you again and again<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
