August 12

Hi daddy. How be you? I'm doing ok. Wish I could just call instead of this. But this is all I got besides memories. I don't know a whole lot. Life is good. I'm happy. I still find Joe absolutely amazing. Crazy how one person can make your upside down world all right side up again. He is a blessing and a joy. He keeps your daughter so happy and is taking excellent care of her. My birthday is Thursday. Idk what he has planned but I'm sure it'll be great. Think we'll go to Red Robin for lunch then ima make BBQ ribs n potato salad for my bday dinner. Joe might make my cake, might buy one. Be cheaper to maybe buy one. Idk. Rob is sending me something. A card or picture he drew.
 Mom is gonna get Snick back in October. I was really hoping it would work out with him with us. Having other animals to be around and us to give him attention. He's become so introverted since you left. He acts like he's been beat or idk, so sad all the time. I think losing you did more to his psyche then we can see. He pants a lot for like no reason. Is so stubborn about going out. Hides when there is the slightest amount of noise. He's just so odd. So different. It's sad cuz he used to be such a happy puppy with you. Joe tells him he's not a dog. He's not, we know, but he's not being the Snick you knew either. I think it might do both mom and him good to be back together. I'm sure it must be quiet being in her house all alone. Snick makes an excellent door bell. I'd feel better knowing she's got a little protection. He may think mom disappeared too. 
Work is going good. Joe's too. Life is just pretty alright right now. Today I was talking to my boss and she asked about how the store looked this morning and I told her. I didn't want to cuz it's becoming a broken record, Chase or Josh not doing something.. She said I consistently have good closes. That made me feel good. We talked about assistant manager and she said the position is mine.  I just need a little more time being shift manager then I'll get the books. Excited cuz it means salary and insurance! So, for once in my life, well, in a long time, I have a goal and ima reach it too! ;) 
I don't know much else. I miss you so much dad. How I wish you were still physically here but it's nice knowing you are always with me, watching over me. Guess I'll go for now. I love you papa. (Forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit.
