Letter 76 – Is This Progress

Garrett,

I look at the photos I have around the house of you, now. The ones Kevin made from the video. I can look at you and say, I miss you, bud. I haven’t cracked open any old photo albums yet, but that is progress. I see you. I miss you And I can smile at the thought of you. Sometimes.

I can also tell you that Genevieve is having a good year. She is blossoming in many ways. I know if you could see her that you would love that. The little girl is coming out of her shell. And I am so very proud of her.

I am proud of you, Garrett. For always being yourself. For not being afraid to put yourself out there. For making friends with people who spoke to you, no matter who they were or what other people thought. You should be proud of that, too, Garrett. It takes a brave person to walk their own path. And you always did. And I love you.
