Mike, unfortunately, life threw us in completely different directions. I never got to know you as a dad and father. I never really got to meet anyone from your side of my family, you've become an intriguing mystery in my life. I'm disappointed in myself for never trying harder to know you. I'm a father of three now, I can't even begin to imagine the situations you found yourself in on a day to day basis or how hard it must of been to not be able to see some of your children. I'm sorry I blamed you and hated you for so long. I never gave you a chance. I know you're watching over all of us and finally have your whole family together. I just pray, you found peace.
