Dear Gideon,
I missed you when I took Dominic to Savannah.
I missed your non sequiturs.
I missed the odd comments.
I missed our inside jokes.
Luckily, you gave me all three starting the second I got home.
For the first, there’s this:
For the second, I especially like comments that make you sound like an old man. Like what you said when you got home from work yesterday:

I missed you.
Love,
Mama
