Dear Gibson,
Man! You are so happy. You always have a smile for me. Always. Like almost literally every time I look at you. It makes me feel so good. I think that’s the power of being happy – it makes those around you feel good. That’s worth damn near all the money in the world.
I don’t know where soul comes from. I equate soul with life force. That indescribable thing which inspires, which makes us move. It’s not the same thing as happiness, but it can certainly be related. I equate soul with the part of me that is connected to everything – to God, the Universe, people, love and especially you and Decker!
It’s awesome you’re so happy! I hope it’s something that lives with you for a long time, maybe forever. If it requires work to maintain or get back sometimes, that’s okay. It will be worth it.
I love you, Gib! I’m so happy you’re my son. I love seeing you smile at me.
Love,
Dad
