Brother, I'm sorry. I've been told had I continued when I didn't there would have been two officers down. But I can't help to think if I continued, you would still be here. When the call for help came out the first person I ran off the road was my actual mother. Brother I am so sorry. I feel sometimes I have let your family down along with you. I miss how you would go out of your way to come and speak with me, and I will forever miss the date you set for our families to come together to break bread... Im sorry, I love you, and I miss you. Please forgive me brother...
