So much to write about the last few weeks but for now only going to focus on how great it was to see my family. I missed you all so much over the last few weeks. Letting you leave was especially hard today and am counting down the days so see you all in a couple weeks again. Octavio, I'm so proud of the young man you are becoming. You're very polite (most of the time), really outgoing and fun to be around. People love hanging out and playing with you, young and old. I had so much fun playing tag and hide and go seek and games on Mami's phone with you. Oh and loved telling you scary stories before you go to sleep. And thanks for saying my stories are better than Mommy's. I love you so much O.
Salma, you are getting so big. The little faces you make are so cute. And while I was sad that it doesn't seem like you remembered me, I really loved hanging out with you on the bed like we used to do in Boulder. I hope I don't miss any milestones of yours, like your first crawl or words, I'll be devastated. Your smile is is amazing. Your lucky to have come out looking like your mother. I love you so much Salma.
Johanna, you mean the world to me. You've been the leader in our family from day one, and provide the support for us to all make it through everything. I can't thank you enough for all your sacrifices, and hope you know I love you tons and am looking forward to us all living together again. I know you always put our family and others before yourself, and am grateful to have found someone as generous and selfless as yourself to be my partner and co-parent to our beautiful children.
Going to go for a run to try to deal with sadness of you all leaving me a little while ago. Then got to hit the books, as Mommy just told me over the phone - got to keep my eyes on the prize and all this sacrifice by everyone - Mommy, you all, our families, will be for naught if I don't pass the bar exam. Talk soon.
Love,
Pa/Chester (for O)
