AS SHE IS

Dear Spike:

Today is Mother's Day. And as it happens your mother is working overtime on your behalf today.

Sometimes, the things in life that could most certainly go without saying are the most important things to say. And in this spirit, let me say something about your mom:

She's amazing. And she loves you like nothing else in the world.

You're a lot like your mother — more and more every day — and I figure that's a wonderful thing, because there is no better person on this planet for you to be like. If you are kind as she is, and if you are passionate as she is, and if you are capable as she is, then you will grow up to be a very amazing person.

As she is.

It's been a very long couple of days for me here (and you both, there, I know) — and the days ahead are almost certain to prove to be even more challenging for all of us. But I am strengthened by the absolute knowledge that you are in the absolutely best hands in the world.

Be good to your mom. Today and always.

Love,
dad
