Nancy and Ashley, Daddy's doing fine. Looking forward to seeing you guys soon. Look at the ocean one time and think of me. Thanks for all your support. This will all soon be but a happy memory. I'm glad that I live in America because the grass isn't always greener on the other side. There's a lot of people here who are poor and bad off, and I definitely think America is helping, so if the people want to send clothes or small toys, that would be great.
