I've thought about this for a couple of days now and couldn't think of anywhere else to write it down, so here we are.
You'd be 39 today. I don't think about me being old, but you being almost 40 makes me feel that way. And your kids! They're supposed to be little, like nieces and nephews should be. Your oldest is going to be in middle school next year! THAT makes me feel old! You'd be proud of both of them. They've adjusted really well and seem to be really happy with the new crew. It's loud at their house. Really loud. All the time. But not because anyone is starting a familial revolution. Just them being them. The step mom is pretty awesome. I think you'd like her. She changes hair color all the time, so you might be kindred spirits.
Grandad shot himself last week. You probably know that already, but just in case...
Seemed selfish. I cussed him for a few minutes. Then had to explain to my kids that I very well may have made the same decision given the circumstances. I didn't cry, like usual. Instead I cried a week later. Like usual. At least it wasn't the Miranda Lambert song. Stupid Modern Family did it. Mitch and Claire were telling their parents about good times growing up. There's another line in an earlier episode when they "miss being on the same team." I do, too.
Everybody has their own shit. Mine is certainly not any worse or different. Just needed to tell you that you're missed. Write back in the notebook of our famous quotes if you have a chance.
