Baseball & Cousins

 Hi Jack & Charlie!

Well my friend just sent me a couple of awesome pictures that your mom posted.  I am amazed with each picture I see just how grown up you are getting.  I wish I could come and watch you play ball.  I loved it when you were just little whipper snappers.  I can only imagine how much fun you are having now.

I wanted you to know that your Auntie Brandi and I have been talking a lot over the past couple of months.  Her and Uncle Tom seem to be moving forward with their separation and divorce.  I'm unhappy about that, but sometimes things just don't work out like we would like.

She's invited us to bring the trailer to San Diego in a few months to see her and Olive and Opal.  Right now it looks like February into March of 2023.  I'm very, very excited to see them all!  I do worry about you guys, though.

If we start seeing them more often, one of these days when you are visiting with them Olive or Opal is likely to say something about Papa and Nana.  I don't want you to be hurt or sad if this happens.  If your mom would allow it, Papa and Nana would be seeing you and taking care of you every single week just like we used to do.  I hope you know without a doubt that we miss you terribly and are sad every day that we don't get to see you.  We love Olive and Opal just like we love you both and I wish that we could be with you, too.

I'm holding out a little hope that by some turn of events your mom might soften her heart and let us be together again.  Possibly if her and Brandi get to talking, or maybe if Olive or Opal do say something that you guys hear, maybe there's a chance.  Jack and Charlie and Papa and Nana are too good together for us to be apart forever.  At least that's what I feel in my soul.

I love you both so much my heart hurts!

Papa
