It's been three months since your death. I found the note you left me telling me to destroy the time machine because I could get myself into deep water. I didn't because I want dad to see that I'm not just a screw up. That I can do something right for a change.

I know dad's wondering why I'm always over here. But he never asks. Ever since mom passed on ten years ago all he does is sits around and mops. He doesn't even seem to care anymore. I think the only reason he stayed so strong was because he had you to lean on. I have no one to lean on so I have to do this to prove to him and myself that I can do something other then have people leave me. I've been working on this day and night. You were right it is hard to do. But I'm having a blast.

I can hear your voice telling me what to do and to put what where. It's like you're still here in the wheelchair telling me stories of how it was like in the old west. Or what mom was like before she got sick with cancer like you did. It's weird that both of you were none smokers but you both ended up getting lung cancer.

I wish you and dad were here helping me. But you're in Heaven and dad's wherever he is. Probably at home passed out to try and cover up the pain that he's in.
