I love you, dad. It is an honor to be your son and to be a part of your life's journey. Thanks for the opportunity to care for you at the end.
Enjoy little Aaron in Heaven and please watch over all the grandchildren you left behind. You are at peace now and alive in all of our hearts. You'll never be forgotten.
Please comfort mom and give her the strength to overcome her grief. Little Kapono understands you left us and are never coming home. When he saw you in the casket he wanted to take you home. This morning he said he didn't want grandma to die. He's scared he'll lose her too. I told him I'd do my best to keep grandma alive to be with him.
Well, dad, I guess I just have to wait for Heaven's doors to open for me before I get to be with you again. I'm not going to rush it because I want be around for all of my future grandchildren to be born. I want to be just like you and enjoy and spoil every grandchild that I will have.
Take care, dad. I love you, 4ever.
