Dear Sara,
Words seem so inadequate today. There’s no efficiency in language to describe how I’m feeling. I’ve had a fun weekend. I’ve had a busy weekend. But mostly I’ve had a hard weekend. The people I love the most – the people I want to be with, the people I need to be with – are also the ones that are the hardest to be with. Laughing children, happy faces, sounds of contentment and joy…and it just makes me miss you that much more.
I’ve been crying almost non-stop for three days. Even when the tears aren’t falling on the outside, I can feel them on the inside. I don’t think being sick helps. I already feel emotionally frail. Feeling physically frail only exaggerates my emotional state.
The snow is all melted. Spring is coming. Your flower beds are waiting for you to begin your work.
I love you. I miss you. Give Miranda a kiss from daddy.
Love,
Chad
