I wont' put everything up, but I thought a few here and there would keep all in the loop as to how things are going. When I get a reply, I'll post that too.
Dear Elizabeth, Sarah, Brittany,
How are you this week? I am doing pretty well. I just got back from an indoor track meet held up in Flagstaff, AZ at NAU. I took 20 rolls of film of the different events. One event the pole vault, I captured on film as the US indoor record was broken. It was a jump of 19 feet 5 inches. That is taller than most overpasses on the freeway!
I hope all of you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year. I remember the last time I saw the three of you. Elizabeth was 6, Sarah was 4 and Brittany, you were still a tiny present.
I thought I would tell you about some of my hobbies. The biggest one I have is building scale models. I have built hundreds, but only have two or three now as most got lost moving around. It takes me a long time to finish one, between work and me adding lots of details. There is one that your mom bought me when we were in Okinawa. It is still up at Embry-Riddle.
I am currently working on a model of the USS Defiant from Star Trek and on the Saturn V Apollo Spacecraft. I have a lot of kits sitting around, that I hope to someday build. Maybe when I retire I will have the time I need to do this.
Another hobby of mine is astronomy. I could look at the sky for hours, at each star and galaxy. I remember when you were born Elizabeth as though it was yesterday. I remember how scared I was. Such a little thing (your mom didn’t think so) but you were so fragile and so dependent upon us for everything. I couldn’t help but be awed at the little miracle I held in my hands. I then realized that there was truly more to life than you see with your eyes.
Sarah, when you were born, you were just as precious as Elizabeth, and I was even more awed at the tiny life in my hands. I was so proud of your mother, she never once got angry with me or upset while she was carrying you. I was amazed at how she glowed knowing that you were about to be born. And when you were it was just as wonderful as the first time.
And Brittany, I remember when you were born, I remember how your mom was saddened by me. Yet, she was so strong, much more than I was. I got the call from the hospital telling me you were about to be born. I raced to the hospital and got there just in time. I can still see the strength in your moms eyes as you were born, she was just as proud of you as your sisters. I was too. I remember how she cried, because I had hurt her because things between us were not working out as we had planned. And when I held you I was so impressed by you that I knew you would be as strong as your mom. You had to be, you had her red hair.
Those were the proudest moments of my life. To witness your birth’s. To witness the miracle of life that we had given you three. I will always wonder how my life would have been had I not been so selfish. I can only imagine how much happiness you have brought to your mom and dad just knowing that makes me proud.
