Robert Jr. just listen my dear son. There are things I need to say I should have said this a long time ago, didn't know I would be going away. I need to tell you my dear child I appreciated all the things you did for me. Most sons would've walked away. You stayed and took care of Robert Sr. and Mc. So with chat being said dear son, hold on, please don't walk away. Now it's Robert Sr's turn to talk. He has a few things he needs to say.
Son, I've been watching over you. Try to figure out if you were up for this task and I thought you had failed me dear Son. I thank God that
thought didn't last.
l know Dorothy can be a handful at times, but Son you made a Believer out of me. You took very good care of your mother and l am proud that you handled that job for me.
So now that we're together, dear Son, we are watching you from the Heavens Above. It's time to live your life, Robert Jr. And we're sending you our prayers and our love.
