Derek,
Not a day goes by your not thought about or missed. Somehow i catch myself thinking of you in the weirdest times for example im at work stocking the cooler now. I miss you brother. Im older now and still a mess but im trying to clean myself. Tori and i relationship is getting stronger and i wish you were here to be apart of it, due to our extreme age differences it was hard.
I got some firecrackers today and laughed the whole time setting them off, i always think of you...
