Hi dad. It has been a while since I have visited this site, and it has been a while since i have visited your friends. I have realized what true love is now. and I know what i have to do. I know what I want to do too. I want to make it up to you, and I want to make it up to your friends fotr that is what you told me to do. I have learned the measning of discipline, as each day goes by, and i have learned the meaning of a smile as well. I have seen you in my heart, and i know MOM and Veronica see you there too. I want to ask for forgiveness, and i know you would want me to ask God for forgiveness first. And that is what i do. I will go to your friends, and I will make it better. I know that I cannot make it all right, but I do know this....That I can make things better. And i know to do it with a smile. I want to ask your friends if they would let me plant a tree in memory of you. I want to ask them if they would like to do it with Mom, Veronica, and me, as well as with God. I would like to do so for a tree is of renewal. Renewal came for the family, and it came for the heart by the love of God. He showed me, and i look back at all the horrible, rotten things I did. I want to tell you that I am sorry with all my heart, but that I am not a sorry person with a sorry heart. I want a weeping willow planted in memory of You, St. Michael, and God. He showed me to straighten out, and I KNOW you are there watching because i felt you. I want a weeping willow tree too because it is mom's favorite tree. I know she still has you there, and I know Veronica has you there too. I have you there too, and i know that you know that. I just wanted to puit it down on paper so i could see it next to You, St. Michael, The Vigin Mary, Jesus, and God when i see you in heaven. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, and we miss you. I will see you some day...Love, Manuel Jr.
