Hi daddy. It's me Tommy your little son. I had my birthday party today, I was sad that you didn't come. My mommy says that your out to busy working on getting high. You must be real far away and working real hard if it stopped you from coming by.
I remember the day I learned how to ride my bike, it was the same day you thought me how to tie my shoes, there were no girls allowed that day daddy, just me and you. I thought the last time we were together was really great, we played hide and seek, pretend,go fish, and old maid. Do you remember that day daddy? Because I do. I miss that day daddy,daddy....... I miss you.
I heard a noise in my closet last night and I was really scared. I even heard stories of some guy that is suppose to live in there. Is it true daddy, is it true what they say? If you don't eat your vegitables, or go to sleep on time, that he will come take you away? Is it true daddy, is it true what they sa? With the kind of work that you do, your not promised the next day? Well that don't seem fair daddy if you wanna ask me, as high as you are and as hard as you work you should be promised everything.
Well next Monday is the last day of summer and then I start school. I'm suppose to bring my most favori-tes thing in the whole wide world......I wish I could bring you. I'm going to try my hardest to get the best-es grade so that you can be proud of me, because for some reason or another, I think that you are mad at me. Do you like me anymore daddy,did I do something wrong? Could you please forgive me daddy and if so, in how long.
I seen your picture in the paper today. My name was next to yours, it had your date of birth, ...yesterdays date,... grandma's name... and grandpa's. I didn't know that you worked in the O-B-I-T-U-ARIES daddy, but I'm real proud of you. Maybe it is something that you can teach me, because when I grow up....I wanna be.....just.......like......you.

This is something that means,... just that to me......something...and may it touch everyone, and bring tears to your eyes...as my past life has brought many to my sons
