I am sorry this had to drag for so long; I am sorry I won't be able to attend your burial tomorrow. I am still even trying to process this-- that you're gone for good. It hurts just thinking about it--I have not had the time to process this.

I envy you in some way. Having to leave all this behind you--family, friends, life and journey into the unknown.

I don't know how to express this sadness I feel. Even with layers upon layers of activities I have used to cover this discomfort I feel in my chest and the fear of the future, they still find a way to surface.

Help me; guide me because it's all on me now-- this burden you've left, it is all on me. You know everything, how we've been living these past few months. Help me. Say a prayer for me. I do not want to fail our family. Your greatest fear is now a reality--we've been abandoned. But I would rather die than watch them laugh at us.

Charles has been helpful. Seems like the only brother you've got. I don't know his true intentions but he seems pretty hurt. Hope he finds his feet again. Everything seems to be in shambles, but I have to keep hope alive.

I wish things were different. I wish I could grieve and miss you like I should. You absence is deeply felt. I hope I become a better father to my siblings, and a better husband to my mother; I hope I fill the void you've left. I love you papa.
