Letter to Family & Friends :)

It has been 2 years today since Daddy's arrest, no trial date set...just the federal government's version of a speedy trial I guess.

Anyways here's a beautiful letter from TG that will lighten up the mood of this blog a little bit:

This blog has so much to do with my family, and my love and admiration for them. They are the strongest, bravest, most sensitive people that you could ever hope to know.

Everyday I get a letter from my beautiful, wonderful wife. I look forward to these like birthday presents. They invigorate me. She is my passion and my inspiration. She is the love of my life. She is my life.

My first daughter Julia is a beautiful, sophisticated, brilliant woman. She is my voice of reason and my taste of home. She is the start of family. She is my Julia and she will always be my first special.

My second daughter is my beautiful, loving, caring Genevieve. She is also very busy doing what she loves. She is my voice of calm and fairness. She gives me love and scolding all in one visit. She is my calming factor. She is my Genevieve.

My next daughter is my beautiful, strong, powerful, and intense Mattia. She is my fighter and protector. I am in safe hands with her as my champion. She is my Mattia.

My last daughter is my beautiful, sensitive, funny baby Kathleen. When she visits we laugh for the whole hour. She is my storyteller and my soul. She makes my troubles disappear. She is my Kathleen.

You notice that I said that they're all beautiful... Well that is no boast, it's true. They're all gorgeous, and talented, and caring, and fair. I can empty a dictionary and not have enough words to describe them. They are God's gift to me and I am a very lucky man. I am so proud of them, I am blessed.

Then there are the rest of my loyal, loving family and friends. My parents and brothers, whose faith in me will never falter. My cousins, whose undying support has made me so proud to be part of our family. My inlaws whose cards, letters, and pictures have brought a smile to my face on a lonely day... ALL of you inspire me to fight. I love you all.

To all of the bloggers who like to keep up to date on my thoughts, I'd just like to let you know that you affect my life.

Now you know why I am stronger today than yesterday.
