BP,

It felt good to tell you what I thought ... and felt. It's always a great thing to tell someone something that is good and positive and with you - it was so easy. I'm glad to be a part of your extended family.

When I reflect back upon the people in my family - my grandfather and grandmother were my greatest friends and role models. Both had very positive impacts on my life, although I feel I've let them both down, I am now working hard to change that.

I'm sorry your grandfather wasn't what he should have been for you. I do think, however, mine would be proud of who you are.

Sam (who would be honored to be your brother)
