I know, Officer Cook, what a wonderful young man you were and you missed and I'm not sorry for balling like a baby in your parents' home.

I brought her and Trevor and the kids doughnuts from Krispy Creme up the block and kicked a soccer ball in their yard with your great-nephew, Legend. Exactly who you were and what Dade County etches permanently in their hearts.
