Dear Me,

I love you. I know you miss Dad and your wife and your dog. But losing family makes you find new family. So celebrate the wonderful humans who have come into your life since. It’s been a rough year and a half, but God doesn’t give us more than we can handle, so you must be a total badass! Keep your chin up and keep pushing toward a brighter day. Take care of Mom, she’s so proud of the path you’re on. Rise up and become the man I know you can be!
