Hi Charlie!
I cannot believe that you're having another Birthday tomorrow. You are turning 8 years old! The last time I got to see you, you were 4-1/2 years old. This is the most recent picture I have of you. My little Charlie Bear has grown up so much!
I'd give anything...and I mean anything...to have been able to be with you the past 4 years the way we were. I miss you so much. My heart just breaks over and over. It was so wonderful being with you back then! You filled my life with happiness & joy. Being away from you just kills me. I keep telling myself that 'At least I have my memories of you'. I do love those memories and I'm so grateful that I have so many pictures of us together. I have to admit that it still makes me so sad. I hope you still remember me.
Charlie, so much time has gone by that I don't even know anymore what your life is like. I hope so much that you are happy and joyful and healthy and that you and Jack are still best buddies. Even though I can't be with you, I hope you have the happiest birthday ever!
I love you with all my heart and I always will!
Your Papa
