This has been kind of a rough year. In March I was hospitalized for pneumonia and spent several days in the hospital. It was hard on you to see your dad there.
Then later I had a small lesion taken off my nose and the results came back as a cancer - thankfully that changed and it was benign.
In those moments when I thought I had a disease that would take me from you, I thought of how I just want to spend as much time as I can with you in whatever time I had left.
So I am looking forward to coming to Canada for your birthday - nine years old. It turns out you have been away from Phoenix since May 27th. Even though I see you almost daily on the phone it isn't quite the same. And a couple of days after I leave you and your mother are coming back to Phoenix.
At first I felt guilty about you coming back - the weather here is miserable. Then I realized - I miss you terribly, and your mother, and time is one thing I can't make up for, something I can't buy.
So, I promise to swim with you in the pool and in a couple of weeks you will start school.
See you soon,
Love,
Dad
