Dear Henry:

Mommy is in a small spring cleaning frenzy. She was moving some of your and Jack's books out of your room into Joe's. I grabbed one of the books because it was such a favorite of ours.



Do you remember how I'd make you laugh in exasperation by changing the words. Instead of

He pulls back into station number nine,
Walks upstairs one step at a time.
Closes the curtains, gets in bed
And pulls the covers over his head.


I'd say

He pulls back into station number eleven
Walks upstairs two steps at a time
Closes the curtains, gets in bed
And pulls the covers over his nose


And you'd laugh and correct me, but I never got it straight.



I miss reading to you. I miss you reading to me. When we were in Minnesota you did a really great job reading. Oh, we were so close on so many things. Jack's reading is getting very good. He read to me tonight. I told Mom that I want to create certificates to award to Jack for each book he reads. I need to get on that.

I'll live up to my promise and bring the new Harry Potter when it comes out in June.

My heart is really hurting right now my Big Man. I'm going to go pull the covers over my elbow.

I love you.

Dad
