A note to my children

February 2 2025

I am very lucky to have you all in my life. I love you all very much.

Goodbye, I'm dying. No just joking.

Sorry I started off too emotional and employed some shock and awe as a diversion. (I'm a little uncomfortable being vulnerable)

I don't know what to say since I don't express myself often or ever. I guess I just wanted to let you (Emman, Adrian, and Zoe) to know that I think of you often and care about you deeply.

Y'all are grown into wonderful people and I'm sad that we don't get to spend much time together. But also content that y'all have your own life's adventures ahead of you.

I try to listen to you. I hear you as best I can and respect your opinions, thoughts, feelings. I hope you know I try to see you for who you are and accept you wholeheartedly.

So I'm not dying and I wish to have many years left to spend with you and I cherish any time we have together.

And Dad, where the F is this coming from? Well I guess after a hectic week getting ready for the house demo and getting ready for this trip, I'm lying down in the plane and have some time to reflect.

I'm thankful for everything and wanted to let y'all know how much you mean to me. My life doesn't amount to a hill of beans without y'all in it.

I'm not sure any of this makes sense and no I'm not drunk. I'm detoxing to prep for the yoga retreat so maybe it's the lack of protein. Or coffee. Or sugar.

In any case I'll send this without further editing and hope you get the rhythm of what I'm conveying.

Danielle you are in my ❤️.
Emmanuel you are in my 💜.
Adrian you are in my ❤️.
Zoe you are in my 💜.
No matter how far you are.

Dad
