"I also expect you to never disappoint yourself. If you think you are at a dead end at something you are trying to do, just stand back, and if it is meant to be, an answer or break will appear. Just remember, there are many sides to a mountain and many ways to climb it. If you get stopped, back off, regroup, and try another way. If you are still not successful, maybe it is not meant to be. Accept is as experience and go after something else for a while. If it is meant to be, having it on the backburner simmering for a while is not bad. It will pop up again, and the way to attain it will be there. Everything in its time. Your mother and I have done our best for you, and in return we expect at least that from you, for yourself, and your children"
The letter Bob had written for Chris in 1987 randomly came into my head, and it made me realize how his death has arguably had the biggest impact out of anything in his life.
It's heartbreaking, because Bob was genuinely proud of his son, and obviously wanted to forge a relationship with him early on. His optimism about his son's future, as well as his hopes that had saved enough money to send Chris to college. Little did we know that he'd eventually get cucked by his own son.
