My last words to you were..... "I'm not going to stick around and watch you slowly kill yourself. After all the chances you have/had you still keep going back to the same crap."

I would give anything if I had stuck around. I would give anything, Mark. At one point in our lives we ran thick as thieves. Your sense of humor ..... man, you sure could make me laugh. You were raw in your honesty. A trait not many folks have. I know how much you loved your mama and daddy. I also know you regretted every bit of heartache you ever caused them. Baby, they know you couldn't help it. They know you did the best you could.
How does it feel to be whole again? I know that your heart and soul are at peace. In so many ways I want what you now have. You don't know this but I was in a coma last summer. When I woke up, I was a different person then when I went to sleep. My mind took a huge hit. I see things and hear things that aren't there. My short term memory is blown. So i know how it feels to be broken. I'm all to familiar with the band-aid drugs seem to provide a lacerated soul. I shouldn't have walked away from you. I should have done more to help. I should have been more patient.

Even though we haven't seen one another in several years, I'm going to miss you. I had just gotten out of the hospital for attempted suicide when I got the news of your passing. My world stopped for a moment. It hurt to breathe. My eyes filled with tears. I just could not stand it that you had not won the war. I wanted that so much for you. I wanted you to see how beautiful you are inside and out. You never thought much of your looks.... hell, I'm the same way. That was one of your demons.... not thinking you were handsome enough. Well dammit you were. You were enough in every sense of the word. I'm sure you've heard that from our maker by now.... How did it feel when he looked lovingly at you and said.... Mark, my son, you are enough! You are my perfect child and I've been waiting to tell you that you are ENOUGH.

Sweet man... you are my friend. I love you.
