My father died last year of cancer, and in the last letter he wrote to me, he ended it with: keep your dreams alive. It really meant alot to me, so i copied that sentance from the letter, and had it tattooed in his handwriting.
thanks man. it really gives me strenght to know I can just look down on my arm and see some of the last inspiring words he wrote to me. Sorry `bout your gran, i can comfort you by saying that if you really go through with it you will never regret it.
