I was very privileged to have had you in my life. you raised me as if i was your own son, i learned so much from you, and we have been through so much together. i very deeply regret some of the reckless and arrogant , self destructive behavior that i became defined by after the death of Mom (Cindy) your daughter, and up until the passing of Gam (Barbara) your wife when we became estranged. However i am extremely consoled at the fact that you found happiness and contentment afterwards with Caroline. I am also so very grateful to have been able to visit from Texas twice to see you and been able to reconcile and even begin a new relationship. i left New York relieved that not only were we able to have a new heart felt connection and a new relationship, but that you also had people around you that took care of you and brought you happiness, because you deserved it. you have had a great positive influence on my life and i am so fortunate for all the teachings, life lessons, protection, providing for me well beyond my basic needs, and many of the wise words of wisdom, such as "Don't piss up my back and tell me its raining" - Jim Dwy, My apologies, i am getting very emotional writing this and need a little comic relief. But in all seriousness, regardless of the things that have happen in the past, i have always loved you with all my heart, and will forever reflect on all my memories of you with nothing but gratitude, happiness, joy and unconditional love. i know that you have found peace, and are now reunited with my mother, and my grandmother, you daughter and wife, along with many others. i look forward with hope, and pray that one day i too get the privilege to be able to join you all in eternal light and love, but until then you will be greatly missed, and you memory kept alive in my heart, i love you so very much Pop, your grandson Nathen.
