You do what you can...

Dear Nicky,

Sometimes in life, things don't always go the way one would like them to go. Things don't seem fair or easy. It's all right to get angry or frustrated or sad. It happens to everybody. At the end of the day, though, it's important to look back and be able to say you tried to do the right thing, you really tried to do what you could. Never give up, even if it means failure after failure, struggle after struggle. Never give up.

Love,
Dad
