me: First of all, this title will be changed. And by the way, Max and Fang are in their late 30s to early 40s.
Angel: When did they get so old?
me: That's not old!! They have a teenage daughter for crying out loud!
Total: Am I in the story then?
me: Maybe. Or you might be dead. Cause of, you know, doggy years.
Total: I'M A GHOST!!!
Angel: TAKE COVER!!!
------The line won't work---------
Dear Fang,
I'm so sorry about Albert. He was a great man. His wife and kids have been down here every day. Kellie is really distressed. I hope everything else is okay. Andrew and Andie are growing up so fast, I wish you could see them! I've included pictures and letters. Andie is a true ginuis, and her grades are a little better than Andrew's. But it's all good. We all really miss you. Be careful and write when you can!
Love You,
Max

Dad,
Andie and Andrew are fine. Mom's working double shift, and I'm working after school and during weekends. They usually stay with Aunt Ella. She's gotten a new job in as a vet, bout time, too. And she and Uncle Iggy have changed their wedding date so you can be Uncle Iggy's best man. And Uncle Iggy is going to try to run for mayor in the spring, or an FBI agent. Aunt Ella is trying to talk some sense in him. And please talk to Mom. Uncle Gazzy is directing a new horror film this summer, and it pays more then my cashier job. But Mom's not letting me. Aunt Angel's career has gone off the charts since that one movie Uncle Gazzy directed. And Aunt Nudge's fashion line is taking a huge step since Aunt Angel agreed to become her spokes person. Aunt Nudge is going to let me be in a fall line fashion show, but Mom isn't letting me do that, either! As for Dylan, we haven't heard anything from him since Aunt Ella started her last year if veterinarian college, last year! Mom's getting worried now.
Smiles,
Katrina

To Daddy,
Mommy's writing this letter for me, since I still can't spell. Andie's so much better than me in that. My birthday is Monday and Mom is bringing some cupcakes to my class and then to Andie's class. I'm turning six! It's really fun staying at Aunt Ella's after school and during the weekend. We still get to see Mommy and Katrina at night and in the mornings!
I Love You,
Andrew

I smiled as I read over my kids's letters. Katrina was a sophomore in high school, I couldn't believe it. It seemed like just yesterday she was playing on the monkey bars in elementary school. I slid the letters and photos in the envelope and licked it closed.
Fang was in the army in Iraq. His friend, who's family have been our neighbors since Katrina was five, was shot and killed earlier in the month. Albert's wife, Kellie, and their two kids will come over around eight every night for dinner.
I just hoped he was okay. I don't know what I would do if something happened to him like it did Albert.

me: And chapter 1!

Angel: You're alive!
