To My Father Brian P. Taylor -from his son Nick T.

To my dad. You are one of the few people who I am concerned with any more. My fondest memories are usually of us before and during the darkest times of my life. Its a really long and sad story. So I will save it for later. However, during that 9 years, he was there physically and when he was unable to he was there in my mind. He is one of the reasons I have avoided ending it all. He helped make me a better person and as melancholy this feels, it is not a requiem I promise! He is like a vampire and a computer wizard. We listen to Rise Against, AFI, Misfits (with Glenn Danzig not Jerry Only in my opinion) and The Dead Kennedys. He is the funniest bastard I ever knew and is really nice. I carry great honour in being his son and I would hope someday to be able to sail the seas with him, all 7 in a cabin cruiser. Stuff is not so bad with him around. He knows what to say to help someone out and change a lifetime of grief with a story of Lao Tzu and a joke. To the best dad ever and one of the last people who I still care about. Cheers! and semper fidelis
