Dear Munchkins

Daddy is sorry he hasn't written to both of you for some time.  You know since Daddy was young he always wanted to be a writer.  Yet here I am, and I don't make the time I want sure to each of you.  Angelo today is one of those days that you aren't here, and a piece of me is missing.  Eva, as I write this you are sleeping next to me, with the little hand on my next.  Your mommy said today that lately you have been leaning towards me a little bit more.  I think she's right, there are a few things going on, and I think you and Angelo have some idea.  But as always, both of you make my world so much better, and I love you both so very much for it.  

It melts my heart when I get home and both of you are playing together.  It is what I have always wanted.  I hope both of you grow up and stay close, and have happy childhood memories of the so many different things and experiences we have done together.  Daddy will fight the world for the both of you, and I'm still trying to hustle to make those millions, so Daddy can retire early and take you both around the world.  This retiring at 60 isn't going to do it for me 

Remember I love you both very much, and I'll do what I can, I'll do the impossible to make you both happy.  

Dear Angelo: I'm not Feeling Well

 
"Hi Dad"'

"Hi Papi, how are you feeling?"

"Good"

"What do you mean good!?"  Babe is laughing in the background.

"I thought you meant after.  Like my feelings"

"What?  I'm glad your feelings are good but how is your stomach, you know the reason we picked you up from school?"

Dear Vinny

I'm still a bit numb, super happy, and nervous.  It is a very delicate time right now, to be growing in your mom's belly during a Pandemic. 

You are already so loved, and we have only known about your planned arrival for three days now. 

I would insert the usual things expecting parents always say, "we can't wait to meet you."  But, fuck that, your Dad is badass, so these are my words: Hurry your little ass up!

Married

 Dear Angelo, 

On Saturday, 3/13, you drew a beautiful ring and gave it to babe.  You said I got on my knee, and gave it to babe, and that we all got married. 

=)

The Kingdom by Eva Garcia

 "You are so beautiful baby, the most beautiful Princess ever."

"Thank you Daddy, and you are the Prince."

"And who is Mommy?"

"She is the Queen."

"And who is Angelo?"

"He is the King."

"Oh baby, that is so cute, you are the best little girl in the world."

Only a Short While

 Dear Angelo, 

You just left a few hours ago...and I already miss you, and regret not playing with you more.  When Eva finds out you are getting picked up by your mom, she almost cries and yells out, "No!  Because I'll miss him!"
