Jack's Birthday!

Hi Jack!

As always I'm thinking about you and Charlie today.  But today is a special day and I wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday!  I know I keep repeating myself as the weeks and months and years go by, but it's hard to imagine that you are eleven years old today.

I wonder if your mom & dad still do a big party for you and Charlie sometime between now and his birthday in March.  Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day today.  Today is all about you, Jack!

I think I wrote last time that Nana & I are going to San Diego with our trailer on February 1st and will be there till the end of March.  I don't know how much time I'll get to see Olive and Opal, but I'm looking forward to any time I can get.  I wish so badly that I could see you and Charlie!  Did I tell you (I probably did) that we have another trailer?  It's bigger than our other one.  If you were with us you each could have your own bed if you wanted to!

I have so many pictures of you, but mostly when you were much younger.  Except for the one's that my friend sends me of you and Charlie.  Every time she sends one I'm so excited to see you but at the same time I'm sad because of how much time I've missed out on.  I hope that somehow you haven't forgotten me and that you know in your heart that I love you and miss you and want to be with you so badly.

Well, I'm getting sad again so maybe I should wish you Happy Birthday until I write again.

I love you, Jack!  You, too my Charlie Bear!

Papa
