"2000 miles away.." [ 10 | 24 | 2009 ]

2000 miles away..

Hey dad, I just wanted to say, you’re my hero in every possible way. And mom, I wish I could give you everything, because that's what you deserve every single day. I wish I could take you with me, because your little boy is growing up on the other side of the country. And I know you would love to be there to see.

The grass in Washington remind me of the eyes that you gave to me, and I wish you could see the ways that God is working because of the life you inspired in me. Things worked out, how you raised me and the guys, and I always ask myself, "why am I so lucky to be in this family?" Because there is no way I could ever deserve to be.

And I'm going to take what I learned from you and give it to everyone around me. Maybe I'm just a boy with a dream, but you have taught me every lesson I need.

And if I could live with you for another eighteen years, I would do so in a heartbeat.

Because I love my family.

More than anything.

- Michael Stephen
