Some pictures...

Dear Nicky,

Today I went back to Ikea to get some wall art for your sleeping areas. For your bassinet area I got a print of some colorful cartoon animals. I thought they looked cheery and comforting. For your crib I got three prints of zebras. They're black and white and very bold graphically. I think you'll find them interesting. And finally, for above your changing table, I got a very peaceful looking, mostly blue print of a calm lake. Nice, huh? I also drove out to a Toys R Us store on Route 22 in Union. They had a pretty decent baby section, so I got some more stuff for you. Even though I got a ten-dollar coupon for my next visit, I don't think I'll go back to this particular store again. There was nothing wrong with it; it's just Route 22 goes through some real blighted areas. Ordinarily, I see and appreciate the sort of moldering beauty I think is inherent in urban blight, but it just doesn't seem right to do so while I'm buying toys and other stuff for my kid. Does that make sense? You'll have to excuse me if I ramble now and then, especially with my brains turned to mush lately, but it's not as if I don't have a reason. Your mother and I love you very much, and we're praying for you constantly, as are so many other people. God be with you, and mercifully so.

Love,
Dad
