This Friday is your 16th birthday and I will miss it as I have the past 9 due to reasons I will never understand and that torn you and I apart from each other after 6 years of fun, laughs and adventure. I love you and always will. I miss you dearly and think of you every day. I hope you are doing well and that you are enjoying this Summer. Maybe you will have a big party for your birthday. I saw your cousin Katerina had her 18th the other day and she had a lot of fun. Here is a collage I made to remember you by... we had so much fun... I am sorry it was stolen from us.
I wonder if you played in the band this past Memorial Day or maybe even in the 4th of July parade. I have moved to New Hampshire and could not get down to see you if you did march and play. It is nice up here in the mountains... lots of wildlife... we saw 2 bears in the past week, a deer and other critters!
Jeremy and Mandee had twin girls but the were very premature, by 3 months, and have been in the intensive care until of Mass General hospital for 2 months now. They weren't even due until August 1st!!!!! They were tiny, under 2 pounds apiece but have grown lately. One of them has Downs Syndrome... but that is ok, if they are healthy and continue to grow...
I love you Zooma and Happy Sweet 16th Birthday!
Dad
