Dear Summer,

         It's hard to write this, when I can't mail it to you.I hope you can get this somehow.It's been a long time, when I last got to talk to you.Your in Heaven and i'm down here without you.

       Summer,when I learned I was going to be a dad for the first time,I was a proud man.I couldn't wait for you to arrive. I had your name picked out before I ever met your mom.

       You came to us early and spent your first 7 weeks in the hospistal.I had to work,so I only got to see you on weekends.On Friday nights at midnight, we would drive to Evansville, Ind. to spend my time with you.I would go to the hospital first just to see you. I couldn't hold you in my arms for a long time, but when I did, oh what a wonderful feeling that was. How many times I wish I could still now. Your in my heart and I hold you that way, and give you my kisses too.

                                     With all my love,

                                             Dad
