You would have been 42 this week. I am sorry I moved because I would have spent your birthday with you but I wished you a happy birthday for your ongoing journey through the galaxy of dreams and forevers.
Happy birthday, old man!! I’m not even 40 yet! Sometimes I think it’s crazy that I met you when I was 22 and you were 26 and we were basically kids and now we have a teenager!!
We got real great kids, Daddy. Violet got accepted to gifted high school, Charlie tested into the seventh grade instead of the fourth grade and our Roxie is starting kindergarten and already knows all letters and how to add and subtract.
I made everyone learn chess and Japanese so we’re doing that and Violet plays the guitar like a pro now and also has a penchant for noir and Kubrick films. I wish I knew she was so theatrical or I’d have had her watching earlier.
I sometimes ask you for a favor and usually things turn out right so I think you are listening and my whole life is our kids, I don’t do anything except be the best mom I can and I think they’ve got a real chance at Chapel Hill medical school so I put my focus on that, you’ll be proud of me. I never got married again and I don’t date, the kids need me way too much at least until the med school acceptances but honestly I’m happy by myself except for missing you, I don’t want to go and meet new people when I’m busy with parenting. Violet already got one scholarship offer so I will find every way I can to pay for school. I don’t see full scholarships right now but I think I can cobble partial scholarships together to pay for tuition for all three of our littles.
Love you for always and I promise these littles we love so much will go to the best schools I can afford and I decided to devote my life to making this happen for our family.
Love,
Rachel
