Hi Boys!
My friend that sometimes shares Instagram posts with me sent this shot of Charlie with the new puppy. Charlie, you have grown so big. At first I thought it was Jack laying down with the puppy. God, I miss you both so very much!
You won't remember them, but your mom did. My favorite Aunt and Uncle live in Ohio. She is my mom's younger sister. She has dementia like Grandma Jimmie did and she also has cancer. They've given her only 4-6 months to live. We are making an unplanned trip out to see them in May. We weren't planning on seeing them till next year, but that has changed.
She reminds me so much of my mom when I talk to her on the phone! I'm so sad that she is so sick. My cousin warned me that she may not even recognize who I am because of the dementia, but I know she'll be happy to see me nonetheless just like my mom was before she passed away.
Life is just so very short and I am very sad that it's almost been 3 years since you mom has let me see you. I hope you both still remember me, especially you Charlie. I think Jack was old enough when all this came about, so I'm forever hopeful that your memory of me has not faded.
I love you both more than words can describe and I'm ever hopeful that I'll get to see you again before it's too late for me, too. You both are always on my mind and in my heart.
Love, Papa
