    I would've tripped Gavrilo Princip or pushed him over or something. Sorry, Franz Ferdinand.

    To him: Dude, you should've waited.

    To her: Your ex still sucks!

    I wish you could see the kids and have met my new wife. You would love her. She treats me better than I deserve and I'm the happiest and most content that I have ever been in my life. I can actually say that and it not be lip service.

    I miss you most when I watch Collin play ball. I don't think you could have enjoyed anything more than to watch him play. He likes to catch even though I have never pushed him to do it. He's got a pretty good bat, makes good contact even though he doesn't have much power. He's got great speed and plays pretty smart. I know you wouldn't be surprised to hear this but the kid has a rifle for an arm. He's more like me than I would have ever expected. Kind of shy but can be really, really funny. I think he'll break out of it in a few years like I did. He likes to have his hair longer than I like but I've gotten used to it. He talks about how he misses you and it's nice to know that he remembers you.

    Kalissa doesn't and that really, really sucks. She would have melted your heart. I know she does mine. Randi baby's her which is annoying but she's turning out pretty good. She got my brains and Randi's temper. She'll be a handful in a few years. You would have never thought it because of how quiet she was as a baby but she is really outgoing. She loves to be girly and sweet but on the other hand can be rough and tough and play with Collin. You'd be completely wrapped around her little finger.

    I've learned to cook and I'm pretty damn good. You'd be proud. You thought I never paid attention to you in the kitchen but I did. After hours of Food Network and lots of practice I can hold my own. I even thought of going to culinary arts school for a while but I never would be able to make as much money as I can doing IT. That and the hours are horrible. I started my own company and I have several really good clients. You'd be shocked at how well I'm doing. Better than I ever dreamed. It's a lot of work and I have spent many late nights here in the study but it's been worth it.

    Randi and I divorced several years ago. It was the lowest time in my life but has been the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It forced me to finally grow up and be a real man. I've really chilled out a lot. I have so much more patience and I'm a much better person and husband and father. I owe the vast majority of that to Annie. She is everything you could ever want in a woman. She is supportive and takes care of me. She believes in me and appreciates everything I do for our family. I appreciate everything she does for me too and it makes me want to be the best man that I can possibly be for her. I attribute a lot of my professional success to her as well. She supports every decision that I make, right or wrong, and I don't have to worry about her throwing it in my face if I fail. I hated that you couldn't see us get married. You would have loved it. Mom and I both said how we wished you were there. She misses you too. She always tells me that New Years Eve is difficult because that is the night that y'all met. You will always be her true love. She calls me and cries on your birthday and on the day you died.

    Your funeral was horrible and your wife destroyed our family. It's been over five years and none of us talk anymore. Celeste has refused to give anything to Jon and me. It's still going through the courts to try and resolve everything. I have fought nothing. I've never retained an attorney. I don't really even care anymore. All I ever wanted were some of your personal belongings. Your ring, your necklace, old pictures, some of your Fire Department awards and plaques, and your rifle. Having to go through this to get them now doesn't give it the same kind of sentimentality though. It will be more of a relief to be done with the ordeal than to actually have your things. It shouldn't have to be this way. The only thing that I do have that is yours is your fire helmet that you gave me before you died. It sits in on top of a bookcase in my study. I can see it as I type this. I'm glad that you never knew what happened after you died. It would have broken your heart more than anything that you ever experienced.

    I'm sorry that you had to die with us on the outs. I don't regret anything though. We both know that you were a very difficult person to get along with. It's still a shame. Maybe the only regret that I have is that I'm not sure that I ever told you that I forgive you. I'm sure you knew it even if it wasn't said. I know you had a really difficult time forgiving yourself and that's why things were the way they were. I hate you could never let go of the past. You should know that it wasn't all for nothing. I learned from your mistakes. I don't hold on to the things that happened. I let them go. I don't harbor ill will toward you, I cherish the good times we did have. I also make sure that my kids do not grow up the way I did. They have a very easy life. There is no yelling or screaming in my house. There is love and they are learning what a real family should be like. There are also many things that you did much better than I do. Things that I took for granted and didn't appreciate until I had kids of my own. I know you regret the pain that you inflicted on everyone around you. Just know, that good or bad, you helped mold the type of person I am so that makes you apart of the love and goodness that is in our house. You should be proud. You did a good job.

    Right or wrong, I always loved you and I know that you always loved me. I always, always, always knew that you loved me. I miss you and I'd give anything for you to be apart of my life now. It's a very good life. Thank you for giving it to me.

    I'm proud to be your son,
    Trey
