There are days that I still think about you. The thoughts come and go at random times and I must take myself away from everything going on around me; just a step around the corner... I try hard to be strong, but the thought of your laugh always brings me to my knees. The memories were just not enough. You weren't there for me when I needed you way long ago... when your brother stepped in to fill your place. But I forgive you! It was hard... but I forgive you! You tried, you made the effort near the middle and end... ... and I should have made an effort! I should have taken the next step to bring you closer to me... to get you to know me...know me for me...know my values... my passion... my dreams. Maybe you see them now? How far I have come... Coming closer to being a real man. And though I have never been a religious man, I have instilled necessary morals to be a good man... taught to me by my other father, your brother, and my other mother. I wouldn't want it any other way I suppose, but I still miss you! And will never forget about you! And maybe I will catch that fish with that bow and arrow hole in it over at the farm one day... and maybe you will be there watching me do it. I LOVE YOU PATRICK! And I will never delete your number in my phone... its like the only thing that ties you to me anymore! Your son, -David Patrick Hagans
