Babe:
Well Babe, I want to share with you something I feel. November starts the worst part of the year for me. Its actually a very depressing 60 days ahead. First, comes our anniversary date from when we met. Then comes Michael's birthday. And, Thanksgiving day with you and your family. After that, are all the sights and sounds of the Christmas Holidays. Then, of course, Christmas eve and Christmas day. Then a week later is New Years eve, and New Years day. It is a very depressing time for me. See, Julie doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving and she doesn’t go out to stores, and if its anything like last year, we won't be exchanging any gifts on Christmas day either. And, of course New Years, she goes to sleep about 8pm, so there won't be any festivities with that either.

I want you to know I will be spending those days re-living the memories we shared, so I will be with you fixing everything on Wednesday evening for Thanksgiving dinner at your house. Then sitting next to your mother and Michael on Thursday. I will also be thinking about you sitting on the floor in your living room exchanging gifts with your family on Christmas eve. And, of course, I will be mentally enjoying the “egg in the bread” on Christmas morning. For New Years eve, you can expect I will email you a short letter at midnight. It reminds me of the times I used to spend New Years eve, outside your house, in my car, watching the little green TV.

I sincerely hope you have a nice time during the Holidays, but I also hope you think of me and what we used to do, every once in a while. Please let me know if you do something different so I can think of you.

Hi Babe:

First, good luck on Monday. I will be thinking and praying for you. Just what are they doing to you? Secondly, thanks for talking to your mom about us. Specially the nice things you told her about me. Third, sorry about the time you had at the confirmation, but I guess it was nice for Stephanie to have you there. Good old Artie, he will never complain, you are right. But, how come the restaurant guy did not reimburse your sister for the full bill? She would get it all back.

Please, Babe, take care of yourself, and if there is anything you need, anything, let me know. Im here for you.

I just realized that I haven't sent you any pictures
yet...sorry, I promise I'll send them this week. Also, I wanted to let you
know my mother was asking for you. We were at Stephanie's
confirmation by Jackie & Artie's last Sunday. After the (2 hr.!!!)
ceremony, we all went to a restaurant which was absolutely horrible.
It was the same place that we went to last February for Nicole's Sweet sixteen
party. The food that day was really good, so they decided to go there for
Steph's confirmation as well. When we arrived it was crowded but Artie had
made a reservation because we were about 15 people with Artie's family. We
had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated and, of course, I had to put my socks
on because it was cold in there!!!! Then there were two flies around
the table being very annoying and the food was
disgusting. Jackie complained to the owner, but he kind of brushed
her off. I felt bad for her,because I think she was a bit
embarrassed. You know Artie will never complain to anyone, but I'm glad
Jackie spoke up for herself. Anyway, I was absolutely sick to my stomach
all the way home which seemed like it took 5 hrs.! The good part was
that I sat next to my mom and she was asking how you were doing and if you
were enjoying Miami. She said she could understand living where the sun is
shining and nice and warm all the time. I asked her about moving back, she
said she's going to look at some places here during her visit, but that she was
ready to move back. I'll let you know about that when I know more
info. She was happy when I told her we keep in touch and email often and
speak occasionally. She said she liked talking to you about Vegas and was
comforted about the way you cared about me and took care of me. Anyway,
it's early Sunday morning and I'm going back to bed for a little bit. I
have my gyn procedure Monday afternoon, so I'll email you with any
information. Keep a good thought for me. I'll talk to you
