Today is your dad’s birthday, little sweetheart.
 

Because of the pandemic, I haven’t seen your mom or your dad in almost three years. I sure do miss them. We text one another quite a bit and talk on the phone occasionally. I’ll call you dad after I write this, I already texted him this morning.

I like being with your parents any time, little sweetheart, but it’s always been nice to be with them on their birthdays so I can bake them a cake. I usually make a chocolate one for your dad and a lemon one with vanilla frosting for your mom. When I can’t be there, I send them one! So, that’s what I did for today. There’s a lovely service, actually based here in New York, where you can order a cake and have it delivered anywhere in there country. They pack it in dry ice and send it overnight express via UPS. I’ll keep checking on the tracking all day probably to make sure it arrives safely.

Your mom and dad are both so dear to me, little sweetheart and I suppose unsurprisingly, I see so much of you in them.

With all my love forever…
