H and K,

We are all heading to Kerrville for Memorial Day this weekend.

Going to visit Grandma and Grandpa.

While we are there, we are going to stop for the day and see some of my old friends.

I wish we lived closer to them.

I wish we could see them more.

And I hope this becomes an annual thing so you can get to know them.

But most of all, I just want to encourage you to have long, meaningful friendships with a group of people that share your values.

A group of friends that you can be 100% yourself around, and they accept you for who you are.

I am tired.

K, you have a little bit of a cough.

And mom’s allergies are frequently bad in Kerrville, so we will see how the weekend goes.

I love you.

-Dad
