I was very surprised to hear that you had gotten so
sick. You were always such a healthy young man and were
excellent at pretty much every sport. It is a cruel world
when someone like you gets leukemia. It just isn't fair.
When I first heard the news through Claire I couldn't
believe it. I just could never imagine you being sick. I never
forget our good times in high school. I always cheered you
on in the football games and more often then not you were
the MVP. And our memories at summer camp are my
fondest. I wish we could have kept in touch more over the
years but after graduation we went our own ways.
By the way how is Jen? She must be devastated with
the news. I'm sure she is supporting you all the way, she was
always such a strong person. I heard you and her had two
kids. They must be darlings. I myself have three kids now,
Josh, Kelly and Sasha. They are great kids but Josh is a
handful.
Sasha is sick in bed today because she has the flu, so
I had to take a few days off work to take care of her. It's
time for her medicine so I must go. I wish you all the luck
with the leukemia and I hope the chemotherapy or what ever
treatment they are giving you works and I pray to God that
you will recover.
Your Good friend, Betty.
