This past weekend, one of my close friends and Brother from the Department passed away in a single vehicle rollover. He was the lone occupant and was killed on scene due to his injuries. We were good friends and his passing has affected everyone dramatically. My oldest daughter saw how badly I was shaken and tries her best to comfort me with hugs and kisses.

This morning she hands me this piece of paper and tells me to give it to my friends wife and kids (he was single with two kids.) The note was hand written and goes as follows;

"from: Brandolyn Baeza
to: Romes (His nickname was Roanie) wife and kids.

I'm so sorry that your husbined died and father my dad was really sad too but lets face it he shouldn't be asleep while driving.

Love, Brandolyn Baeza"

Once i finished the letter, i broke out laughing and part of me wanted to cry. I showed the letter to Missdates and she laughed saying "Our daughter is sweet and insensitive like a Sour Patch Kid!"

I love my kids.

To Roan! Great journey Brother.
