Hello Z,

Right now you’re in bed asleep. I’r

rm gonna brush my teeth and go to sleep too but I wanted to update you real quick on how things are going. You’re strong and growing so fast, you ain’t talking yet but I know you’re gonna get there soon enough. We took you to take Santa pictures and you did well up until we put you on Santa’s lap, you made a face and it of course hurt mommy and I but it was a great photo and one that I will remember forever. My birthday is approaching quickly and I’m not gonna lie to you it scares me because I’m getting old and I am scared of death and I don’t ever wanna leave your side or not have you around but I know I will be gone one day and all I can do is leave you with my love and spirit. 

This is a perfect time to say thank you to Craig Sager who died today at 65 of cancer. I would laugh at his outfits but loved seeing him do his duties on TV, I seen him a few times when I was with the warriors and he was tall and had some bright clothes but he was himself and he was amazing. When I found out the news that he passed I didn’t want to work anymore I just wanted to come home to you. I sometimes think  about you and all of the crazy things you are doing during the day and how you brighten my day every day. 

Z I love you more than you will ever know, you’re a handful but I love you. Please listen to mommy and Daddy and know that I love you with everything I got papa.

See you in the morning.

Love,

Daddy
