Dear lady,
i'm happy to know that things with Gerret are going so well. Individual time with a parent is such a special thing, and the eldest children (as we both had the good fortune to be) get an unfair amount of it. Preschool is allowing Gerret the opportunity to be the eldest for a few hours on those days, and get all of your time and attention. Taking about the two of you cuddling on his pillow was a warm and happy picture in my mind. i wish my brother Brady realized what a glorious opportunity he has had to get my parents attention. i would love to be there spending time with them again. i suppose my growing up and maturing only happened near the end of my stay with them (though I was never responsible or mature before that, and Brady was—and it feels he's letting go of it now).
In any case, i love you. You're right, making this decision hasn't been our best kept secret. i wish i could say this has all been part of the plan, but we both know that's not true. Our being here has led to some goo though. Our boys have come to know your family, and they got time (however brief) with your grandpa. You were a friend to Lisa when she had none. Our boys have enjoyed pageant and feeling the spirit of the church sites. A lot of good has come out of being here. We are most likely coming to the end of our time here, so i guess we'd better take in all we can. i've loved you through every rainy day, through every snow storm, and through every gorgeous fall, and i will continue to love you every day of my life. You are my dearest treasure.
.a boy
