I got a short email from my father the other day, it took me this long to respond to it.    Once upon a time I was not behaving like a man and did some things that I still regret.  I cannot tell you what it means to be emailing with my family again.  I miss them.  They are very close and a lot of fun and you would like them, everyone does.  I don’t know if he reads my blog, what ?!  he COULD be one of the three or four (on a good day) that does.  I just wanted you to know that if you never give up hope, you’ll always have it.  Have a great Saturday!!!
