We rushed over to read it and before I could even read two letters Gerard burst into tears and ripped it into a million little pieces.  

"No....mom was a good woman" Gerard refused.  Mikey looked up at Gerard with guilt laced in his look.  

"Gee" Mikey said looking down at him since Gerard was now on the ground.  

"What, Mikey?" Gerard asked painfully, it made me upset to see him like this but all I could do was stand there frozen.

"I-i'm.........s-sorry" Mikey apologized and gave his brother a sad hug.  Tyler and Josh eventually saw Gerard crying and came over to give him hugs.  Gerard hugged them back and then Patrick came downstairs.  

"Dad?" Patrick asked lightly tapping on Mikey.  Mikey turned around and hugged Patrick and I realized I should give Gerard a hug.  I bent down and gave Gerard a hug but he refused to let me leave.  I sat down on his lap and he cried onto my shoulder.  I tried my very best to comfort him.  

Tyler and Josh went to go get Brendon and while they were gone I lifted up Gerard's chin and kissed him softly.  

"Dad, I am going to sing you a song" Brendon said and had Tyler's ukulele in hand.  He started strumming some song that I did not recognize. 

If all our life is but a dream

Fantastic posing greed

Then we should feed our jewelery to the sea

For diamonds do appear to be

Just like broken glass to me

And then she said she can't believe

Genius only comes along

In storms of fabled foreign tongues

Tripping eyes, and flooded lungs

Northern downpour sends its love

Hey moon, please forget to fall down

Hey moon, don't you go down

Sugarcane in the easy mornin'

Weather-vanes my one and lonely

The ink is running toward the page

It's chasin' off the days

Look back at both feet

And that winding knee

I missed your skin when you were east

You clicked your heels and wished for me

Through playful lips made of yarn

That fragile Capricorn

Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves

I know the world's a broken bone

But melt your headaches, call it home

Hey moon, please forget to fall down
