Hi Dad!

I miss you!

I made it to China! I actually made it! I know, I know...you had great faith that I would make it all the while. The one thing I was most nervous about was making it back home again. But even that journey was a breeze! I am stronger emotionally and independently than I ever thought I was!

I was disappointed that you were not home when I got back, but I understand that you had important business to take care of that simply just could not wait. I can accept that excuse this time.

I think it is fitting that you did some garage selling on your last day here. I wish I could have seen who bought all of your old junk!

Jeff built a fence to keep the dogs from running off again. But I think if they left again, it would be in search of you. Waylon seems to think you are the one who is lost this time.

Mom and Jenny are planning Bastil Day again this weekend. All the boys and their wives are coming for dinner. I can't be there because I have other plans...imagine that!

You left so quickly. I never got to say all that I needed to. I never got to express all that was in my heart. I never got to tell you how much I love you.

But...I hope you knew.

See you later, Dad!

I miss you!
