Lonely for you...

Dear Nicky,

You're in Florida. I'm in Jersey. Tomorrow I'll be in California. Mom said you ate pretty well but went to sleep really early. Considering how exhausting your day must've been yesterday I'm not surprised. I told Mom that between the trip and the excitement of the ocean, I think you'll get plenty of sleep. I love to hear about you going to sleep early. I think this trip is very exciting and stimulating for you. I miss you a lot, your little exclamations, your gestures, your laugh, everything about you. Except your tantrums, which are few, and your food peccadilloes, which are numerous.

Love,
Dad
