Dear John,
Happy 20th Birthday!!
I hope I could have spent more time with you. Today, if you would ask me to stay just to see how you draw such a complicated aircraft, I would do so. Even if it would take a whole day to just be with you and enjoy the things you love.
I wonder if you still have the same smile. I wonder if you still have the sweet voice that calls me every time. I wonder if you would still be proud that you picked yellow as your favorite color (and green of course J). I wonder if you would still make paper boats and planes. Time flies so fast. Ten years… I miss you.
I’m sorry I was selfish. I thought only of myself when I shouted at you. I could have spent more time taking care of you when you were sick. I wish I could do it today. But SOMEONE is already taking care of you right now. I wish I could have been better.
I hope you could read this. And if you do, I’m sure you would be happy that I changed… a lot. But I know that’s not going to happen… If you would be here just for a moment, I want to say I love you very much. You are the best brother in the world, Nathan John A. Galzote. I would never forget you. Goodbye. See you in heaven.
Wow! I also remember my brother, Eldon, who we lost when he was a mere 11 months old. He would have been 48 now…
