Hi Jack & Charlie!
You boys sure have been on my mind lately. I laid awake all night missing you and thinking about you and remembering our times together. You'd think after all these years have gone by since I saw you or spoke with you that I'd get used to not having you in my life, but the truth is I miss you more than ever.
Nana and I have made some changes in our lives. We are now 100% traveling in our trailer full time. We don't have a house or storage units or extra cars that are not with us. We quit our jobs at the RV Park in Manteca. I'll send along a picture of our truck pulling our trailer and pulling
our little white car behind that. That's everything that we own on this
earth! I still work remotely providing document services for a number of California water systems, so I keep busy but still my time is my own. I'd always promised you guys that I wouldn't be tied down with a job that would keep me from seeing you. Even though your mom has kept me from seeing you for almost 5 years now, I've always kept that promise.
Another change I've talked with you about is that we get to see and spend time with Auntie Brandi, Olive and Opal. We are seeing them more and more often, which is wonderful, but it actually makes me miss you both even more. It's so wrong that we cannot be together, but I have no control over that. At least not until you're 18 years old and your mom cannot keep us apart. I only hope I live long enough and am healthy enough to see you again.
Right now we are in Hot Springs, South Dakota. We'll be here for the next couple of months. Then we head to San Diego for a couple of months to see Olive & Opal. Then I think we'll go to Florida to see Nana's dad. Then probably to Alabama to visit family there. And then back to San Diego. We'll plan our next destinations as we go along.
My friend sent more pictures of you guys. I know I keep saying the same thing over and over, but you both have grown so much! I am so proud of you both but I'm so very sad that we are apart. I love you with all my heart and I'll never stop loving you and missing you and wishing we were together again.
I love you, Papa
