Dear Hutch,
I know you are probably wondering what an earth I could have put in a letter like this. Under the circumstances I was kinda hoping that you would never find it, but you have, so I must be dead.
Oh well, I always knew it would be me to go first buddy. I hope it's not too hard on you, but you'll get through it. You have the force and friends and family Hutch. Lean on them if you need to, and don't mope around. I know you Hutchinson. Get on with your life.
So I'm guessing I was pretty young eh? Well how did I bite it? Please tell me it was something heroic. I'm kidding. Whatever it was, as you once told me it is always toughest on the ones left behind and that's why I have written this letter, to let you know how much you mean to me Hutch. Where ever I am now I'm sure I'm looking out for you, as you always did for me. I love you buddy, always have and always will. God this is hard. Okay……Hutch you gotta get on, you gotta move forward. Life is for living Hutch and time will heal. You wont forget me. I'm unforgettable right? But you will learn to live without me. You'll laugh at the good times and probably cry over today, but you will cope. I aint really left you Hutch. I'll always be there, in your heart. When ever you need me, you'll know I'm there.
Don't give every new partner they give you a hard time. I know you. And yes, you are going to continue being a police officer, I know you're having doubts right now, but it's what you love, it's what you do and anyway, you're damn good at it. Don't forget to call my mother every Friday. I promised her you would.
As for the torino it's yours buddy. Do with it what you will, just be kind to her, she was good to me.
One day you'll have a wife, kids (Don't forget the first one's gonna be called Dave) and you can talk about me to them. Tell them what we shared Hutch and let them see the special person that you are.
I'm going to say goodbye for the last time now Hutch. Don't cry. I love you babe and always will.
David.
