So much has happened over the course of those years. Your family has grown, you have two more Granddaughters and there is finally a Grandson on the way. The girls are all so big now. Chris went back to school, graduated, and got a good job working in the operating room at U of M. You’d be proud of all he has accomplished. Wayne has been teaching martial arts and helps others learn the value of self protection in terms of both self defense and the confidence it can instil in them. Along with meditation and finding balance in their lives. He too has come far and achieved much. As for me, I continue to work for the same company as I was the last time we spoke, but I have slowly moved up. Learned new skills and become more valuable to the company, even gotten certified on one of my vendors hardware. Mom’s doing good too, she misses you more than anyone, but she knows you’re always with her. She keeps her head up and continues to help and put others before herself, sometimes to a fault, just like always. You know, typical Mom. Don’t worry though, she gets out and has fun too. She’s gone to the casino a few times recently and really enjoys the time out. Not going to lie to you Dad, there have been hard times too, for all of us, but we make it through. We stick together and help each other when and how we can, just like a family should. We think of you everyday, sometimes at the oddest moments and for the oddest reasons. But it’s those moments that I know your still here, watching over us, and that makes the sadness a little easier for me to bear…. We miss you and we Love you, Dad….
