To my wife on her 23rd birthday, I love you and miss you. Happy six months being married. Hope you have an awesome birthday, and drink some alcohol for me because I can’t. On this end, life is all right. I get three meals a day, I have an air conditioner in my room now, and your pictures are up everywhere. Dogs are friendly, people are friendlier. The weather is nice, but it’s steadily getting hotter. Can’t wait until we meet again. Thinking about you always. Love you, miss the dog.
