Hi Charlie!
Well, another year has passed. I absolutely can't believe that you're nine years old today. I was talking with Nana about that and realized that for half your life as you know it, I have not been allowed to see you or talk with you. That sure makes me sad because I miss you so very much and I love you with all my heart and I always will.
Be that as it may, I hope you are happy and healthy. You were such an amazing boy and I'll just bet that you're just as amazing today as you were when I last saw you.
At this point I'm just not even sure that you remember me. You were only 4-1/2 last time I saw you. That was when I took you and Jack bowling! You guys loved that!
The big change in my life is that I'm in a new line of work, one that let's me travel full time just like I always wanted. I wanted to be able to see you and care for you and enjoy you without work getting in the way. I was already doing that, but this new venture gives me even more freedom. I sure hope that I live long enough to reconnect with you and Jack.
The other big change has to do with Auntie Brandi. Nana and I have spent the past two months down in San Diego reconnecting with Brandi, Olive and Opal. It's been wonderful, but it has made me miss you and Jack all the more. Olive and Opal will probably talk about Papa & Nana at some point when they're with you. I hope it doesn't make you sad or think that we have chosen not to see you. No Way! If you're mom & dad would let us, we'd see you ALL THE TIME! I will never give up hope in that possibility.
I love you so much, Charlie and I really do hope you have a very Happy Birthday!
Love, Papa
