I love you Dave, and still miss you and your mom. One month and three days ago was the sixth anniversary of her death and today is the eighth anniversary of yours.
I would say that overall, I am feeling better now than when I last wrote, both physically and emotionally. BTW after two years of a doctor telling me that I had eczema, it turns out that it's really psoriasis. But anyway, it has been better the last two seasons than it had been before. Love always, your friend and stepdad.
