I wish you thought to do more while y ou were here I told you to take a break.In our last conversation you told me i could not leave you and now i am here with out you.Guess you are with Veronica, mom ,dad and kenny take care of them till we meet again.When my times comes to leave this world as we know it I will be looking for you and all of the good ones that have been taken. It takes a lifetime to forget someone you love. If you are watching over my should mike I hope that you know I love you and always will.I still want it to be known that all the money your fanily had dont change the fact that all I wanted from you was to hold you and hug you and let you know that tere were people out here who cared for you for who you really were the real Michael Chisum. I want them to know how short life can be and to live each day like its your last it just may be.
