Not a day goes by that I'm not thinking of you Dad. I do my best to be a man that you would be proud to still call your son. I have always had my falls and spills but I feel that I kept your out look of respect for the individual and to help others that are in need; to be able to show everyone the dignity that every person should be allowed to be given. I wish everyday I can just hear you say something that you're proud of me and be able to see you again, but I know I can't. What I can do though, is keep fighting to be the man you expect me to be and to be the good person you taught us, that you taught me to be, and to stand up for what's right and protect the people around me.
