Dad,
Life is good, and all our family is well, we do have quite a few more additions since you left between marriages and births. In fact, the family has grown considerably large since you left us. There have been so many, many times, though the years past I wished you were here with us. The family members that knew you miss you and wished you had stayed to enjoy life with us, and all the latest family members that came after your departure know you by the stories and all the memories, we share with them. Today we are 5 generations strong. Mom is wonderful. Danny, I and all the family together will celebrate her milestone 90th birthday this July at the lake. I feel you have been gone half my life and can't believe all these years have passed and yet I feel like it hasn't been that long (26 years) since I saw you last. I love you, Dad.
