Well, to say the least, it's been a rough week for the two of us. Something knocked me down for 6 days and you have had a bad sinus infection. Not good either way, but at least both of us are on the mend.
It's was great to talk to you tonight, as I miss you very much. Someday you are going to read these entries and understand why I decided to write them. I am trying to leave a journal of our lives together that you can learn from, and I hope you will understand. You are a very big part of me and I hope that lasts until my time is up.
We have things planned for you this Christmas when you visit and hope that you have a great time. Imagine that, 173 days and you will be in Maine with all your grandparents other than Grandma Grace, and we know she wants you to be here. I've got an axe for you to cut a tree with, the shotgun is ready, and maybe we can go rabbit hunting.
I want you to go on a night walk with me in the woods on snowshoes and I'm sure Grandma will want to join us. It is absolutely beautiful when it's snowing and maybe we will get lucky with a good, cold night.
Enough for tonight, I love you and miss you.
