Counting the minutes...

Dear Nicky,

I can't wait till you're in my arms again, you and the rest of my little family. My time here in Los Angeles has been a lot of fun, but it's been bittersweet too, without my loved ones here to share it with me. Time apart is good, I really believe that. For a parent, it allows them time to rest and relax and remember that they're individuals, and it's also good because it refreshes the good memories of their loved ones and brushes off the cobwebs of the more drudgery times. Soon we'll be together again.

Love,
Dad
