Please don't take him out of our lives forever. I beg of you.

You did not have any long relationships with Tristan and for that, I'm sorry. To the community, I'm sorry I brought all this pain on everybody and I'm sorry I know by apology will not fix anything or bring her back, but I hope it helps in some way. He also apologizes to his parents, writes that he loves them. To his mom, I miss your hugs. I miss you.

The longer I'm in here, the more I forget, the more memories I lose. I'll never forget you love me.
