Your last words to me; "How much more weight are you going to lose?"
I replied; That I was at 150 lbs plus and that I had hopes of making 145 lbs or less.
If I had known that was to be the last time.
I was going to see and speak you on this earth.
I might have talked till I was blue in the face.
And I might have spoken those things in my "Letter to the Pirate"
Three days later you would be dead.
Now it's too late.
Semper Fidelis

You can never do more,
you should never wish to do less."

It must be forged, tested and used.
It must be passed down.
And woven into the very fabric of our souls.
Until it becomes our nature."

And direction to the future."
