Fred.....

Dear Fred,

I know you probably won't read this for some days, if not weeks, since you are away attending to your family matters.

I am so, so sorry that you lost your dad. I don't even know what to say. I kinda never had one of those, so I don't know what it's like to lose one, but I do know what it means to lose someone close to you.

There's nothing I can say that will make it feel better....oh yes, it's going to hurt. It's going to hurt for a while.

But somehow, we get used to it and it becomes part of us.

I think of Maya all the time. And from time to time, my eyes still mist over. But I know I am lucky for having known her, as you are blessed for knowing your father.

I love you very much and I am so sad that you lost him. But you are living proof of your dad's greatness. We live in an age where manhood isn't necessarily a condition of fatherhood. But it seems as though the Smith house had everything together.

I know we'll be in touch several times before you read this...but I still want you to know that I'll always be here for you.

Love,
Rashid
