Today I mourn one of the greatest men I've ever known, whose death was mine to blame.

There's not one day that I don't think about it, and I torture myself over it.

He taught me my life's lesson, the one thing I do everything by.

"With Great Power, There Must Come Great Responsibility."

I know nothing will bring him back, but I still think back to the day he died and wish I could've done something. I had the power to--I could have saved him.

But I didn't. I was selfish. And look what good it did me.

I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive me for what I did to you. I would do anything to go back in time and save you. I'm so sorry...

So sorry...

You can not always blame yourself for things that didn't turn out the way you wanted them to, tiger. Look at all the people you've saved since that day! He's proud of you.

I agree with the above comment--Spider-Man, you will not always be there on time. You will not always make the best choice. But living with them...that's the hardest part, isn't it?

A/N: again, tried to stick with the Marvel timeline here. Uncle Ben was shot in a comic published in August, so I tried it out. I don't know the exact date...yadda yadda. Thanks for reading and reviewing, youseguys!
