MGBTTT - June 19th, 2006

Dear Anthony-

Today is a beautiful sunny day in South Florida. I am sitting here studying in my room and taking notes for a class that I am having this evening.

Your birthday just passed and I had a card for you that I did not send. Just like so many gifts that I had bought for you. That went undelivered or returned to sender.

Thirty years on this earth, there are so many things that I do not understand. Perhaps the greatest of these misunderstandings is not being able to be a part of your life. A silent observer... A monthly paycheck... nothing more.

They say that the only regrets a person will have at the end of his life are the things that we don't do. Never have I regretted the decision to bring you into this world... you have been my anchor, my savior and my greatest hope. And I look forward, patiently to the day when you will come searching for me. And I pray, that on that day, we will both find peace.

Son, do not fear or worry,
The winds of time can only bring us closer.

Love,
Dad
