Hi Dad,
Jennie did tell me about you and Cheryl. She has some strong feelings about your wedding. I just hope that you are happy, no matter what.
I know that your church will support you, because they will never be able to get someone who cares about the congregation as much as you do. So don't worry about them. As long as you can take care of them, they will be happy. And plus, they are too old to know the difference, so that's a score for you. =-)
Dubai is definite because as Jennie and you add onto your families, it necessarily leaves me behind. Just as when I attempted to add onto mine, I had to leave you. Because Suffern isn't really my home and because Utica is even less of a home for me, having a stranger in either place (and yes, that's what Cheryl is to me, and I don't foresee any circumstance wherein that will change) means that I no longer have a place to go. So I have to find somewhere else.
You don't need to keep any rooms for me, in either place. You can give away my clothes, but please don't throw away the things I have in Suffern or in Utica. I'm 35 years old, and those things are the only indicators that I've ever been alive. That's why I saved them.
I love you Dad. Over the last year and a half, I've been really mad at you, sometimes I've been really hurt by you. But recently, after a week or two of reflection, I realize that you have always tried your best. And I know that I haven't done the same in return. And I'm sorry for that.
I will come to your wedding if you want me to. I will stand up with you if you want. Because I love you. And I will never stop doing so.

Hi Tim;
How are you? I sure miss you! I guess you heard from Jennie about Cheryl and I. We got engaged last Sunday. We have set sometime in Sep for a wedding. I am going to try to work something out with the church were I come down 3 days a week and up there 4 days a week. So that way you still have a place here. I am not going to do anything with our house in Utica so you have your room there also. I love you very much. Is staying another year certain? I know you don't have much here, but I still think of it as your home. I hope you have a good wqeek.
Love Dad
