I remember the day you told me of Tara’s death. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn’t function for a few days. And I remember thinking, “My god, how must Sean feel?” Until I read this today, I didn’t realize just how truly deep the wound was and is.

Due to my beliefs I can’t offer spiritual comfort, but I have learned this in my journey. Live life without regret. You’ve clearly come out the other side a better man than you were when you went in. As such, you’ll teach your kids not to make the mistakes you did. And should they make them with regards to you, you’ll never hold it against them.

You are the sum of your choices and sometimes making a bad choice is what helps you make the rest of them good choices.

You have to cut this stuff loose mijo or it will eat you up inside.
You feel the need to make up for it, and you have dedicated a large part of your professional life to organizations like CMN that do great things and help many people.
It’s ok to be a little selfish and forgive yourself.
It is one thing to live with a regret or two, it is another to carry it around with your like Paris Hilton’s travel bags.
Drop the baggage and live the life Tara and your family want for you. That is the best “apology” you can ever make.

MY Brother;

Tara excepted your apology, you of all people know that actions speak louder than words and therefore no Spoken Apology was necessary. If she didnt love you and forgive why would her last action on this earth be to come to you and touch your heart.

I’m at a loss for words to be honest. I can’t imagine this was easy to write and I’m sure there were a few lines in here that brought much pain…maybe even tears. I’m sure your sister is looking down at you laughing at some of the matches of verbal disputes you two had…she might even be saying, no worries, Sean, you are my bro and I love you no matter what. She might even be sad that you won’t let go of that doubt and burden that you carry. I’m sure she forgives you…family always does.

Sean,
I know this must have been hard to write, but I bet it felt good to get it out. Simply reading these words could make other people think twice about how they interact with the people they love, and that is a beautiful gift. Don’t stop writing. It’s good for the soul. (I should really take my own advice).

Congratulations! You manned up about not being much of one. We’ve all been there and done that. I’d don’t need to give your any assurance or tell you what you’ve become. You understand all that better than I could say.

The hope is there is an afterlife where you can say the things you meant to say to a loved one. See you in that line. I’ll be the one with the list.

Dear Sean,

I’m not sure what happens to us after we take our last breath on this planet, but I’ve always believed that there is some sort of energy that leaves our bodies when we die. Part of that energy is in you, as evidenced by your love for others and your touching story. Part of it is in your family as well. The rest of it is dancing around all of us. And now we know from whence it came.

Sending you lots of hugs.
