Dear Jack,

I was so glad when I learned that your buddy Cline decided to join you for your recent school trip to Europe. I mean, it would still have been an amazing first trip across the Atlantic Ocean either way, but having a good friend along for the ride clearly made it even more fun.

The two of you have been friends for a while now. I remember him being one of the first new friends you made when we moved here a little over two years ago.

All this summer as you have been riding motorbikes, hanging out at the pool, and playing pickleball with your friends, Cline is usually there.

And it’s clear to see from the pictures from Europe that he obviously shares your sense of humor.

Love,

Daddy
