Hey Dad - Just wanted to tell you how much I love you, how much I admire you and how lucky I feel to count you as my father. Not every son gets to be a 'spy kid', a world traveler by the time they are 12, taught how to shoot M-16's by Air Force as a scouting activity, taught how to detect / evade surveillance on foot, or had dinner together in small town in Ecuador. You have filled me with wonderful memories.

You added another this weekend. Thanks so much for the memorable time this weekend! Going to the game together, watching our team come from behind, screaming till we can't talk, and high-fivin' all afternoon long is a father-son moment I've been waiting on for a long time. I just didn't realize it until it happened.

You are one in a billion. I hope this year brings you the success, happiness, and joy you seek so diligently every day!

Love,

Matt
