I miss you. Bubby just sent me some old pics of you n mom. Idk where they were taken but you n mom look so happy. I still tear up when I look at a picture of you a while. I start thinking about you, how I miss you, all the things you've missed, how I wish I could talk to you. Like we used to. I miss our talks. Our phone calls. Especially the random ones, the I saw something and had to tell you about it ones. Those were my favorites. The I just wanted to tell you I love n miss you ones. I cherish the special bond we had. I think after it was just you n mom, we had moved, the boys had moved we got closer. I remember how mom used to say you'd complain that'd we'd always call but never wanna talk to you. But as I recall, it was you that would always cut things short cuz you were usually watching something on tv. Lol. I loved how easy it was to talk to you. You are one of the best kind of ppl. When you don't have to sugarcoat your words or censor yourself for fear of upsetting the other.

Life is going alright papa. Joe n I have gotten back on track. I think his messing up n the possibility of losing me made him change his tune a bit. He still pretty much does what he wants when he wants but he thinks more on how I'll react or how it'll effect us in the end. As far as I know, he hasn't talked to his sister. But I'm sure he will again, someday. He's roofing now. He likes it and hates it. He has to do all the driving so that really bugs him. He works with all Mexicans. None have a drivers license. They are in Virginia this week. I miss him something awful. He n I have been together a little over 4 years and never been apart. Maybe one night but idk. Mom said if he has to travel much more I'll get used to it. Idk daddy, mom is a special breed. Women back in day got used to it n it just what it was. I know I probably eventually would but I sure don't want to. Joe said he's gonna talk to the boss when he comes back n tell him no more traveling unless he gets more an hour. He's gonna ask for at least $13 or he's gonna walk. I hope they can come to a compromise cuz we don't need Joe not working but I completely understand if he does walk. My work is going ok. I still love it. We're supposed to be getting bonuses cuz of 2nd qtr sales. I'm really hoping I get it this time. I've been there since Nov. 

I have so much more to tell you but I must go to sleep. I love you so much daddy. (Forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit.
