Hey Stephen, you're probably not reading this from the great beyond but writing it out makes me feel better so in my selfish way, that's what I'll do.
I know you posted and lurked around here although I don't know your handle. Maybe this isn't the place but it's here I will leave it for now.
I was never much of a son in law to you but you always had my back, even when I was not the best husband to your daughter or father to your grand children. You always seemed to see through my bouts of insanity, maybe because you were so deeply in touch with that part of your own humanity. I'm glad you at least stuck around long enough to see us right the ship and you were a big part of that. For that I'll always be grateful. I won't lie and say I'll always be the best human but I'll do my best to remember that I should always be striving for that and it will in great part be in your memory that striving occurs.
I hope you've found some peace in your decision to take matters into your own hands. I'm sorry it must be seemed like your only choice (or why else would you have made it?). I don't know man, we love you, we will miss you, and even if you're not looking out for us from the beyond I will make believe that you and all our ancestors are.
