I'm going to miss you, dad. Thank you for teaching me to love writing, for supporting me as I followed my dream. Thank you for all the hours you spent editing, for all the encouragement and praise you gave me when no one else believed in me. I thought we had more time together. I thought you had time to finish your stories. But I meant what I told you a week before you died. I promised that if anything happened, I would finish your stories for you, using your notes. I didn't want it to be this way--I'd rather read them the way you would've written them. But I'll do my best to use what you gave me. I love you. |
Dude. This sucks. Today's your 2 year anniversary here at WdC. It seems longer. I was out all day today, and I did some zoo shopping! It's 104 here, hotter where you were, but so so smoky. I don't like wearing a mask because it gets too hot, and it makes me feel like I can't breathe. I'm glad to be home. I regret not getting to discuss the theological points of our respective beliefs. I've never been great at putting my faith into words. I won't stop trying though, promise. I think about you a lot. More than you'd think I would, I bet. I lost my dad when he was 60, so I feel for your kids. I began a poem for you the other night, but it looks like I'm gonna need to work at it more, cause it isn't any good. That's okay. I'm in no hurry. Throw some sunshine down for Connie eh, she's swimming while I'm sweltering TTYL dude |
Apparently, you are No. #15 on the Score Board for this year having completed 432 games, 1,236 points and earned 62,549 gps. And me? I'm No. #47 and completed 54 this year, earned 148 and 6,944 gps. You win, man. You win! Ugh! At least I'm still on the board! Just a random thought, Stefan. You know you and your family (the stories you tell us) are the sweetest ever. |
I'm glad that you found his outline in his backpack. You'll still have his guidance in finishing his book.
I believe you can do it. - Connie
