Dear Marge and Maddie,
First of all, a belated happy second birthday, Maddie!
Your mom, sister and I wish and hope that you enjoyed all
that "Frozen" merchandise: "Frozen"cake, "Frozen" dolls, and other little "Frozen" stuff.
But anyway, more than the late birthday greeting, I'm writing to
you about something else. Around last October, your mom and I took you guys to
one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's called "El Nido." You, Maddie
were only a year and eight months old at the time, while Big Sis Marge was a
little over six.
We always get a lot of this whole "you-don't-bring-little-kids-out-on-vacations-and-out-of-town" thing. They always say it isn't worth it, since they say that
you guys probably won't remember a thing about them. Science actually says that they're probably right. The
chances of you remembering any of that trip to El Nido is extremely unlikely.
I've actually posted something like this not too long ago here.
Maybe your mind won't remember, but somehow I'm sure that
no matter how old you will eventually get (and i hope you BOTH get to live to a reeeeeeeally ripe old age), somewhere in your heart, you will
remember there was that happy time at the beach. And that though you don't or won't
remember much detail, like what we ate, what you saw, or whatever, somehow I'm sure that in that
happily hopping heart of yours, the laughter that you had in those days will go on and on, and
those echoes will keep your heart healthy, and will help you learn to love life a little
more.
So by the time you read this you probably won't remember
any of that at all. Of course, there will always be the pictures. But your
mother and I, and probably your big sister will surely remember how happy we were watching you have all that fun.
But most importantly we will all remember how happy we
were that we were all together.
'Catch you later.
Love you,
Dad
