    I thought about you again this weekend. I have no clue of how this memorial day was for you. I began to cry when I saw an old man at Smith Park, all hunched over and wrinkly, looking at the memorials and all the names of those that fought for our country. Then I started to think about all those loved ones that were so courageous and did so much for us and our lives. Although your lil' monkey didn't serve in the army, I can't but help about what she did and meant to you and Pat. Look at the impact she has had on your lives and how she has changed you for the better. I know that you shed tears for her absence and you ache inside because she isn't around, but I even appreciate what she makes me remember when I see a picture of her or when you talk about her. She makes me remember how precious children are. She makes me remember that moments are supposed to be cherished and that many things in life really aren't a big deal. "No BIG DEAL" is a phrase I've been starting to say. I let Wyatt make a mess of the Q-tips in my bathroom and I let him get all doused in my make-up, I let him squirt water in my face with his bath toys etc. I soaked up that moment and laughed with him. In my head, as I looked at the mess afterwards, I just smiled and said, "No big deal," as I started cleaning things up.
    I don't share this with you to bring pain to your heart, but I share this with you to thank you. I regret to say that if it weren't for your daughter and her passing and all the lessons and feelings I have felt, I think I wouldn't have enjoyed that moment with my son like I did. Instead, I probably would have hid the Q-tips and said,"Wyatt, no-no. We don't play with these." You and your daughter have made me realize that many things are "Not a big deal". Sidd, you both have helped me be a better mother. I thank you for that, no matter how hard that may be for you to hear it.
    Love, Andy
