Son, I'm going to tell you a story. This story is about the first time your mother and I met. It's a love story, it's my love story. I met this girl and fell hopelessly in love with her. She was the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen. I was only your age and I wanted nothing more than to find someone who would fall for me. I was looking for love and that's when I found your mother. She made me understand that it is possible to trust people. She showed me that I was worth it and should be someone's first choice. I've never wanted anything so bad as I wanted your mother to always be apart of my life. But son don't be fooled by all of this because life can do terrible things. I remember spending everyday with her at the skate park. She would always surprise me with a huge, warm hugs. I loved getting those surprise hugs. She always made my day whenever she'd hang out with me. Whenever she was around me, it made my day so much better. I remember her looking at me and saying, 'Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing? I can't help but I notice you staring at me. I know I shouldn't say this, but I really do believe. I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me." From that moment then I realized your mother was the only one for me and I was determined to marry that girl. We did everything together and nothing could ever separate us. I trusted her and she trusted me. So I told her, "Girl can I tell you a wonderful thing? You know that I love you, will you marry me?" Now son I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things. I hope things for you turn out differently. I loved your mother with all of my heart and never wanted to let her go. She turned away from me and started to cry. I asked her if she was alright and she said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing? It seems that I'ms sick and I've only got weeks." I turned away, trying not to let her see me cry and I became weak and fell to the ground. She lifted my head and said, "Please don't be sad. I really believed you were the greatest thing to ever happen to me." So son don't ever fall in love because I wouldn't want you to ever experience this much pain. It makes a man weak and scarred for the rest of his time. I haven't been able to open up to anyone else because no one will ever be able to take your mothers place. Nor will I allow someone to take that place and I never will.
