A VISIT FROM AN OLD NEIGHBOR

Dear Gabe,

Miss Mick came in to the store today.  She apologized for missing you when you were here.  We talked for quite a while, in between customers.  Michelle is in Hong Kong, on her way to port in Hawaii, what a life huh?  Maybe you should have joined the Navy huh?  Hehehehe!  Anyhow, Miss Mick said to let her know the next time you're in town because she would really love to see you again.

Father's Day is right around the corner, so if I don't get to talk to you then, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  That still feels weird... you being a father.  Oh, I have no problem with me being a grandmother, but you a daddy?  Wow!  I just wish you had more time with Little Zachary.  Oh well, all in good time.

June is already half over, can you believe that?  Heck, the YEAR is almost half over.  Wonderful!  Be seeing you soon.  Be safe til then.  Miss you, Love you always,

Mom~
