Loss of a Hero [2]It's hard to fathom what life will be like without you, for so long I've used you for advice and a shoulder. Such a strong-willed and fantastic man with a stern code of honor. You always desired the best and you instilled a strong sense of morality in me. I wanted the best for you, I wanted anything and everything that you could have had. It's hard seeing such a thing happen at such a young age--and I mean yours, not mine. You raised me and brought me up to be who I am today. Taught me what to do in the event of this, and taught me how to be the man/boy/thing I am today. If Batman is my favorite Superhero, then under that mask, he is MichaelLoss of a Hero [2] by ~Ryokushin
