Dear Robert Jr.,

Hey, how are you hanging in there? I know times may seem tough, but Christmas is around the corner, so cheer up a little. Perhaps you could go out, embrace the sunshine and feel the snow. You know, holidays always make me forget the date, so I find that I spend my time alone and in meditation, at peace.

I know the mail may take longer to deliver these few weeks, but if you meet your dad again, tell him I said hi, and I love him. Some things…just take too long to be said. You need to be able to take the time to say some things, and I figured I should do the same. You should tell your wife and children you love them before you lose the chance. Spread some joy this season.

I won’t be able to visit you, because I am busy this year, but in the mean-time, I wish you all the best-
