Josh & Nick,

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.  Remember to focus on the real reason we celebrate.  Jesus came to give us an amazing gift.  HIMSELF!

As I told you in the most recent letter I posted, I am sending you both a check in the mail this Christmas.  You should receive it the week of Christmas. 

I wish we could be together but know that even though you are far away you will always be close to my heart.

I love you so much.

Dad

PS I received an email from your mother that you both received the cards that I sent.
