Dear Kieran,
How are you doing today? I’m doing
fine and very happy because I got to see you again yesterday! I had so much fun
– but then you’ve always been a great kid to be around!
I’m glad you liked the football
player action figures. I shall have to look for some more of them, especially
since you like the Chicago Bears and there are a couple of their players that
you can get as action figures. I’m sorry to report to you that one of those
players, Brian Urlacher, has retired and isn’t playing next year. That’s good
news, though, for my favorite team – the Green Bay Packers – because Brian
Urlacher was very good at tackling our quarterback!
Playing the Scooby Doo game was great
fun, too! You were quite good at tapping out the bricks. It reminded me a lot
of our Don’t Break the Ice game. I bet you remember the Scooby Doo haunted
house that we used to have. Maybe I should look for that and get it for the
next time we’re together.
I think I most liked the Cat in
the Hat card game that we played, though. You were excellent at walking like a
penguin, and thank you for showing me how to skip properly! I will bring that
one with me next time!
The “Star Trek” transporter Lego
set is neat with how the light flashes and then our character sins around so it
looks like he’s beamed down to the planet with the Kirk Rocks. There aren’t too
many “Star Trek” sets left to get, but I will look for more packages with characters
– hopefully we will get the Gorn! Maybe you also would like a Lone Ranger Lego
set?
I liked playing “zombie” with the
finger lights, too! We used to play all the time with those and the “Star Trek”
lights we got out of cereal boxes. We’d sneak through our green house in
Lancaster, pretending it was a wrecked ship that we searched for survivors,
hoping no monsters attacked us. But they inevitably did – and turned one of us
(usually me!) into an alien zombie.
Playing with the micro cars was a
good time, too. They fit perfect on that fold-out van set, didn’t they?!
I’ve been a little surprised that
you haven’t wanted to read books the last several times that we’ve gotten together.
We used to read books all the time together. Is there a reason you don’t like
to read books anymore?
I know that you want to see me
more, and I want to ensure you that I also want to see you more. I love you
more than anything in the world and want to see you every day and have fun and
new experiences just like we always did. Let me assure you that I am working
very hard at ensuring that happens.
Well, that is all for now. You
take care – I next will see you June 21 (and hopefully even sooner!)!
Love,
Dad
