Pride
My son is most likely the strongest person I know. I'm talking about you Gohan, not your brother. He's different from you in his own way. But, this is for you. Gohan, from the time you were four, we were always training, always fighting. We had opponents of immeasurable power that we had to defeat. And for that, I am sorry.
If I knew that day, when you were four, would mean a lifetime of fighting, I would have left you at home with your mother. You had to grow up so much at such a young age. If I had known, I would have gotten there earlier, been stronger, been a better father.
But I wasn't and my words find it hard to say that I truly am sorry. My words cannot bring your childhood back. No, you stopped being a child the day I died. My words cannot give you a childhood.
Gohan, you're the smartest person I know. And it was those smarts that saved you countless times when I could not. When you read this, I know you'll blush and tell yourself that there are others like Bulma that are much smarter than you are. You'll tell yourself that the others were stronger. But you're wrong.
I grew up fighting. I love to fight. But Gohan, you're much more peaceful and unwilling to fight. Fighting doesn't give you the thrill it gives me. I love the adrenaline that rushes to my very core. As Bulma once told us, I'm a battle junkie.
Gohan, it wasn't fair for you to become an adult before you needed to. I never even got to take you fishing. Remember when you were four, I was fighting against Vegeta, I promised you to take you fishing. You brought it up years ago, before Uub came. But then, the tournament and Uub came along and the Black Star Balls. Now, I'm getting ready to leave for the rest of your life.
I'm sorry Gohan, I truly am. It's almost time for me to go. I'm going to slip this in your pocket in hopes you'll find it.
Tell your mother that she was the love of my life. Tell your brother I'm sorry I never really got a chance to see him grow up. Tell your daughter she was a ray of sunshine in my life. Tell my friends, no our family, that I wish I didn't have to go but I need to. Tell Trunks he was like another son to me. Tell Bulma she was my closest friend next to Krillen. Tell Vegeta that the fate of Earth is now in his hands. Tell Krillen he was the best friend I could have ever had. Tell Piccolo thank you for me. Tell Master Roshi and Oolong that they helped me become who I am.
I want you to tell Bura that she's a fine young lady and I'm sure she'll break plenty of hearts. Tell 18 to stay strong and not let Roshi corrupt her daughter. Tell Tien and Choatzu, and Launch if you can, that I'll never forget them. Tell Yamcha that I hope he finds the right woman soon and settle down. Tell Marron not to break to many hearts. I want you to tell Uub that he was an excellent student. Tell Mr. Popo thank you for me. I want you to tell Dende that I hope to see him sometime later in my life since Nameks have a long lifespan. Tell your wife she was like the daughter Chichi and I never had. And, there's one last thing I need to have you do for me. Well, other than to appreciate the people around you.
I want you to take your brother and daughter fishing and make sure that the adventures we had are never forgotten.
Good bye son. I miss you already.
A/N: As you can see, I have gotten over my Goku thing. Yes, I had a thing with Goku where, I pretty much hated him. But, I've matured, and I have been able to get over it and realize why he did some of the things he did. Also, the Dragon Ball Diaries is the name of my C2 and the story summary is the C2 summary as well. I am looking for staff members and if you think that you would like to be in the staff, email me or leave a review.
I own nothing in this short fic.
