Poem
Dear DaD, Please do not think of me and weep. I did not die on that dim lit street. I'm the sun that shines on you in a warm loving way. I'm the son you'll reunite with on some future day. I'm the young man in your car whom you taught how to drive. I'm the little boy who looked up to you as I walked by your side. I'm the sound of children laughing full of happiness and glee. Do you recall how much I'd laugh when you'd often tickle me? I'm all those Birthdays and Christmas Holidays that you never forgot. You would shower me with presents whether I was a good boy or not. I know that you miss me, that's why I show up in your dreams as a child or sometimes grown up, but after the dream has ended, you awaken feeling sad. Perhaps this will cheer you up. You Were The Greatest Dad I Could Have Ever Had. You took me out camping and taught me how to swim. We'd race and play games and you'd always let me win. You took me bike riding every morning before school. All my friends used to tell me, "Your dad's really cool." I'm all of those bright blue eyed boys that you occasionally see who all seem to have a striking resemblance of me. So please Dad, don't ever think of me and cry. My Presence Is All Around You. I will never die. Your Loving Son Always, Michael 05/04/1974 - 10/27/1991 You Will Never Be Forgotten You Will Always Be Loved Rest In Peace My Beloved Son "To the one held responsible and accountable for my son's death. To the one responsible for taking my son's last dying breath. To the one who caused so much misery and sorrow to your family and mine. To the one found guilty of manslaughter who has now served his time. If you are truly remorseful, then I've only one last thing to say to you. If you are truly remorseful then I Forgive you."
