Children,
I wrote you yesterday as well - I guess I have a lot to say to you. As always I love you and you should know I always will. I love you Char! Most people would think it's foolish to write to you like this, but hey, they're not me.
Your Mom and I got into a tizzy last night,
Partially because of her extreme fatigue and partially because of me.
When your Mom and I first met I was not the man I am today.
Because of her strength, sacrifice, conviction and determination,
I have become a better man.
She has taught me the meaning of responsibility in life,
And relationship,
And here’s a shocker, something I haven't been,
the most responsible.
Last week your Mom and I got into a car accident in Delia.
Delia is your Mom's 1989 Red Cabriolet Convertible.
Fortunately no one but Delia was hurt.
Well, maybe a little of my pride,
but mainly Delia.
Currently, as for the past few years,
your Mom is a working actress;
HARD WORKING!
She often wakes up before the sunrise and goes to a job she loves.
Although you all know I'm a writer, today I am a floorwalker.
I hate it but responsibility says I, like your Mom,
have to work.
SO I DO!
I've been thinking about you a lot in recent days.
Trying to figure out how to best make sure,
that you all live up to your,
RESPONSIBILITIES.
Your Mom always has and always will.
I just wanted to let you know...
I love you all.
I love you Char.
Always,
(SDM) Dad

Context, there is lots going on and lots of stress right now. I went to one of my old books to start inputting into the computer and this was the first one I saw.

Ah, isn't it amazing what you find in the archives of your own mind? Although it can be heart- and gut-wrenching to read old journals and remember the bare frame of a person you once were, I'm alwasy still glad I wrote it. It's a reminder of how far I've come, and the same for you.
