So many people missed out
on knowing who you were
and that amazing person
you could be; even after
the accident...

I didn't know you at all
until today, walking through
a city I've never been to
with my dad; he's the one
that knew you...

We met your mom sitting at
her kitchen table with your
little brother; he still wears the
peace ring you gave him right
before Time took you...

Mommy told us stories about you
on the phone when she and dad
were still together. The way your
family did when they let us see your
final picture and memory book...

Dad saw the box of letters
from your nieces when you left;
he added a little piece of metal
with a shark. We know you loved
marine biology and Donald Duck,
but we forgot that
until just now...

I know this won't mean much
since you knew my dad in
college and he didn't even know
my mom; let alone want kids;
but I wish I had the time to
meet you...

Everyone seemed to love you,
and for good reason too; I am
just sorry I was never on the list.
Even though I admire all the
things they told me about you...

Anyway, I just thought if anything
you would have a way to read
this, and if you did you should know
Jeff misses you, and we do too...
