Dear Henry:

Tonight Jack told Mom, "I don't understand why God makes it that kids are at camp or school all day and parents are at work and they can't be together." Henry, these are one of those times that I, as a parent, was glad to be out of the room. Sorry, I'm just trying to be funny.

Clearly, Jack doesn't want to be apart from us. I know he is sad that he is apart from you. I don't exactly know what I would have said to him if I was Mom. You know I usually joke that I work to buy you guys toys. But I don't think this is the answer for Jack. There is something else going on in his head. I'll try to talk to him tomorrow. Nobody at his camp, the other campers (except for Matthew) or the counselors know about you. Do you think that plays into all of this?

Love,

Dad
