EVERYTHING I'VE SAID HERE IS TRUE. I COULD'VE TOLD YOU THAT WE GAVE EVERY BIT OF THE MONEY TO CHARITY, BUT WE DIDN'T. LAST JANUARY WE FLEW TO EUROPE AND AROUND THE WORLD. [REDACTED] WANTED TO SEE THE WORLD BEFORE HE DIED. THAT WAS THE LAST TRIP WE EVER TOOK TOGETHER.

HIS LAST [REDACTED] DAYS WERE SPENT COMPLETELY BEDRIDDEN. DISEASE KNOWING HIS INSIDES OUT AND PAIN SHOOTING THROUGH HIS BODY, HE NEVER ONCE LOST HIS COURAGE. THE ONLY DAY HE MISSED AN ENTRY IN HIS DIARY WAS THE DAY HE PASSED AWAY. I THINK YOU WILL BE INTERESTED IN HIS LAST WRITTEN WORDS.

.... REALLY WORE TODAY.... MOTHER CAME BY THIS MORNING. I LOVE HER.... LIFE BUT SO IMPORTANT THAT I SHOULD IGNORE DEATH, NOR VICE VERSA. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE DENIED DEATH THE ATTENTION HE NOW DEMANDS. BEFORE THAT HE TAKE ME, THAN THE LIFE FROM ANYONE ELSE....

EVEN ON THE VERGE OF DEATH, [REDACTED] WAS THINKING OF OTHERS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, [REDACTED]
