It's been a few years and I still miss you. I just want you to know I picked up your present for me and it's wrapped and under the tree. You always made sure I got chocolate covered cherries.

I'm not talking to Mom and I think you can understand why. I still blame her, and I can't see myself ever having a healthy relationship with her. I'm in therapy. It helps.

I've gotten much closer with your sisters. They're great and are filling the family void. We have weekly stitch and bitches.

The pup is also doing fine. He's a grumpy old man dog.
