Hi Babe,
I knew it, I knew you were not well. What kind of Doctor are you seeing next week? Anything I can do for you? When I didn’t hear from you, I just knew something was wrong. As I have often said: life is too short; must enjoy today, for we don’t know what tomorrow will bring; when we get too old, we wont be able to do the things we want; and, life is worth nothing without you. Working all the time, doesn’t get you what you want all the time. Look at the amount of time you spend with your kids. Work to pay bills only is not a good life. Well, enough of my foolishness…you know my answer.
And, for Dukey, put some newspapers in a small area where you want her to go. It may work. By the way, I do not remember you getting upset over things that ruined a happy time. I’ve told you: You never have to say, ‘Im sorry’. When I look at your pictures, they ALL remind me of wonderful times we had. Not a single one brings back a bad memory. If there were, its in the past, so far past, that it gone from my memory. Please take care of yourself. There is only one you.

Hi,
How are you? I read your email. THere is nothing wrong. I'm sorry I haven't had the time to write in a few days. I haven't been feeling well again. I think it's because I don't take any time off from work to stay home and get completely better. I have another doctor's appt. next week. whatever...I was really glad we talked on the phone. Of course, you didn't say anything wrong! I liked thinking about past times especially the Radisson, relaxing at our private (as least we thought it was ours) pool, sitting in the jacuzzi and even the Pizza Hut..I guess one of the best parts was being able to just pick up and make reservations and go...once again, that was all because of you...thanks.

The boys are doing great and Dukey...well...she's punished. She decided to chew Michael's $150 day-old sneakers that he bought himself!! Michael being mild-mannered just raised his voice and said "Dukey, you're a bad dog"...I proceeded to let her stay outside (it was 53 degrees) for about an hour and think about what she did and have a stern dog-talk with herself......DIDN'T WORK.......she used that time to do everything ..except pee. Then after coming back in the house....she had a bladder malfunction.....I swear this dog is really a voodoo doll and someone I've pissed off is sticking pins in it right now!!!

You know after we spoke I realized (again) how many times I got upset over little things and ruined what should've been a happy time.....I'm sorry about that too.

I have to go, I'm at work and don't really feel well...I'll let you know what happens again with the doctor. Regards to Luis and Julie.
