Thank you for including Niko in your prayers. I spoke to him about you some. He knew how much I value our friendship for sure. The last couple years have been so difficult for you and your family. I marvel that you still have any faith at all, yet you do, enough to summon saints on your walks. I like that idea, seeing you in a meadow surrounded by saints and loved ones. Julie and Lori and Kelley alongside, all your beloved departed dogs, and a slew of saints. You belong in their company.

Ever since I started thinking of memory as time travel, I have been able to revist old times more vividly. I can be right back there again. That has not always been pleasant!

How are you useless and unproductive?!!!
