Roy,
If you’re reading this, it means I’m gone. This time, for good. I’ve never been good at saying what I feel and often leave things left unsaid. Not wanting to do that to you again and being in a career that is so unpredictable and often feels like it holds your life in it’s hand made me want to write this. I’m giving it to my lawyer just in case, God forbid, anything happens to me. I would give anything to say these things to you often.
I made so many mistakes in my life that I know hurt you deeply. I can only hope that us coming together again brought some joy, because I know it did for me. You are my pride and joy. I am so proud of you. You grew up with different circumstances but used it to your advantage. I’m proud to call you my son. I love you more than I ever thought I could, even the day you were born and I was so blown away by your existence. I don’t know when you will read this, but I know I wish we would have more time together. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me a sense of family again. Go be the best astronaut ever. I believe in you.
Love you, son.
