I'm currently writing a paper, and I'm going to mention you in it, so I just stumbled across this page after I googled your name. I'm in college now, and I have a baby sister named Ava. You would love her spunkiness. She released balloons for you a few months ago! You would be so proud of Dad and how much he has grown as a person and a father. Mom is doing well, too!
Ava and I took a trip to Texas to see Maymay, and it was a blast. Miss you!
