Hi Charlie!
Well, another year has gone by already. Today you are 10 years old. I can only imagine what your life is like...you were only 4-1/2 the last time I saw you. My life has a great big hole in it that just won't heal. I miss you so much I can't even find the words to describe it.
I get an occasional picture of you from one of my friends and an odd tidbit from Olive or Auntie Brandi. I appreciate every thing I hear or see about you but it still hurts so much. You are missed more than you can imagine and loved even more. No matter what, you are still my little Charlie Bear.
It's been so long since I tried to get back into your life. I've been thinking the last few months that I'll try to write your mom another letter asking what, if anything, I can do to see you again. I'm actually kind of afraid because I've never gotten a response from her. Only silence. But I miss you and Jack so much that I have to try again.
I hope you are happy and that your Birthday is the best ever!
I love you,
Papa
