Letter to My Children (February 20, 2019)

Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Josh, and Christina,

     Here is a picture I took down in Letchworth at the beginning of the 5K race you were running with Dad. Joshua was with friends and did not run the race. But you four pictured above did. With Jonathan and Christina coming in first in your age bracket! I love this picture of Jonathan letting his little sister climb on his back. So normal for us. You were all such good kids. Who has bewitched you into this enforced eight years of total silence with your parents, sister and extended family? When people hear you are doing this, those that knew you, are shocked and disbelieving. And the first question is always...what church is this?! This picture is how you used to be, open, honest, kind, and carefree.

Missing you all.
