Papa,
I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that I can’t be there for you in RI. I know how important this is to you.
What a wonderful thing you are doing for your parents, and you couldn’t have done a more perfect thing for your Mom for Mother’s Day. I can hear Grammy saying… “My David did this for me”.
I love you,
Robin
