Dear Joshua,

I hope that Laura makes you happy. It’s funny how when you’ve known someone for so many years, you wake up one day and realize just how much you care. I can understand that. I’ve been there before. So I can only wish you true happiness, because if I didn’t truly love you then I’d hate you and wish you all kinds of horrible things. I wish that all the years ahead will be happy ones for you. She is a very lucky lady and I’m sure has a wonderful character just like you do. Just seeing you be able to smile like that makes all the pain worthwhile. You’re happy and that’s really all that matters.

You’ve taught me so much about love. I can’t thank you enough. I will always remember. I will always love you. But now I know that I can finally let go one more time…. for the last time knowing that you are where you want to be and you have a lovely lady who will truly make you the happiest man alive. I can finally find peace with what has happened.

I wish that I could sit with you and play this song one last time. This was our song together. I will never play this song with anyone else. It was meant for us… for a moment in time when two people found each other and truly loved with all that they could.

May that “somewhere over the rainbow” be reached now. It’s what you’ve been waiting for years to find. Funny how it was always there… you just didn’t notice it until now. I’m happy for you. So happy.

One last time. This song is for you Joshua. I love you forever and always.
