Dad,

Senior year is finally here! This year is filled with big things. Going to homecoming for the first time since freshman year, going to prom, getting my license, graduating, choosing a college, nailing down my career path, and much more. It's a little nervous, but excited at the same time. On the one hand, I have more freedom, but it's a lot of freedom all at once. I think about you everyday and still wish for the same things that I wished a year ago. The other day I randomly thought about when we said, "Not till you're 12 son". It's thing like that, that I miss. I sometimes wonder how you are and what you're saying about my actions and what I'm saying. There are things that I am sure you don't really like and would punish me if you were here lol. There is a new song by Florida Georgia Line called, "H.O.L.Y.". I find myself picturing you and I singing it together from time to time and then begin to cry. I just wish I would've sang with you despite my terrible voice. The family is doing okay and Penelope is doing good too. Teresa and I Facebook message every once and awhile for updates on her. She I guess has allergies, didn't know that lol. Anyway, I love you dad and cannot describe how much I miss you. See you soon!

Love,

Josh
