15 years, 2 months.

Dear Jack,

Nearly a month ago on Christmas Eve, you decided to join me in the annual Twins’ 5K Run just across the street from where we live. That inspired Mommy and your sister, as well as Nonna and Papa to come too.

Afterwards, back at our house, you proudly showed Papa the birdhouse you built in shop class at high school. He was impressed with your craftmanship. So was your shop teacher- he told you that you got the highest grade in the class!

I made it through high school without ever having to take shop class. That wouldn’t have gone well for me.

But for you, it totally makes sense! You have the mind of an engineer. I’ve always said it.

Love,

Daddy
