Dear Bestefar,
I always loved you so much, and I still do. You will always be with me and I can never forgot everytime I've been with you. I was hoping that upon my graduation you could have been the one to pin my 2nd lt bars to my collar becuase I know how proud of me you were. I'll make you proud and look after Bestamar when I can. I love you,
Alex

You will always be my 'Superman'.

All my love,
