Dear Mother,
Oh how i wish that I would wake up and you could be here with us. It's Mother's Day and all the pain that i thought i was working threw is still fresh like when i found out in New Orleans. Some days I lay in bed thinking about how different it would be if you were still with us. I just want to thank you for every thing that you taught me and how you raised me. I know that i was a bad kid at times but i thank you for all the time I had with you. Dad is so sad but he just hides it and really dosn't show it to me. I sat at work last night and just cried thinking about you and how i wanted you to see everything that i'm finally getting done. One of the biggest things that you taught me is that life is short and that we should live like there isn't a tomorrow. Tomorrow is a gift that we might not get but, today is here now. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me.
Your Son,
Patrick
