It has been a crazy 14 years. I met a lot of great people. I graduated college. A lot of the youngsters that were babies are now all grown up. The Sopranos ending just cut to black. I know you would have been pissed about that one. Your sister left us, which was rough, but you're brother is doing well, and it seems the rest of the family is also doing well. I made a bunch of music, nothing you would've liked, but some folks did. I made a promise to dad, that if he helped me get through school, he would never worry about a place to live for the rest of his life. It was rough for a while, but you know us, we got through. So far I've made good. I moved back so he could retire. We got a little house where we live. I saw the wings play a game outside. I'm still cold. I rescued a puppy, he is awesome and totally in love with dad and vice versa. We had a black president, and we almost had a woman president. Get this, we’re going to have Donald Trump as a president. I know you didn't see that coming. A bunch of my friends that you loved have kids. They are doing great, and are wonderful fathers and mothers. I'm working on finding my path. I'll get there. I talked to Aunt Patty today and she is doing well, even though Pat left us. I don't check in enough. I need to. We still do Thanksgiving together every year. Even though it doesn’t seem the same, it is still one of my top five days of the year. They could actually get married now, a little too late. In short, I’ve got people that love me, a decent job, and my eyes set to the horizon. I'm just busy trying to become a man worthy to call you his mom. It would've been a whole lot easier with you here, but in this family we don't do easy. We do what we need to do. I guess I'll keep trying that. Love you mom.
