Jude,

Yeah, our kids have left, but they're still our kids. They'll always flock home for holidays and such. As for Reagen, you're right; I don't want her to get married. But then, I'm not sure your dad wanted you marrying me, so I guess I'm gonna have to get ready.

You are the same silly, klutzy Jude that I met. You've still got your music, and you're always pausing to write lyrics that pop into your head. It's so…adorable. Is that odd, that even though I'm 54, I'm calling you adorable? You are.

I love you, more today than ever before. Everyday, I love you more than the day before, and I don't know how that's possible. I love our kids, and I love my life. I'm so glad I've gotten to share it with you. There's no one else I'd rather spend it with.

Aw, hell, I've grown soft in my old age. Pretty soon, we'll be living in Florida, at a crazy old persons home, drinking vitamin shakes and reliving the old days. At least I'll be with you.

Tommy
