dear rick,
i know this is just my blog and that you'll probably never read it. but i'm going to pretend that i'm writing you a letter anyway.
i just wanted to say that i miss you and i love you. it's only been a few hours so far and there are so many more to go. the house is so empty and i keep waiting for you to come out of the bathroom or come home from work. kahlua keeps running to the door every time she hears a bmw drive by the house, only to realize that it's not you coming home and she comes back into the living room with her tail down. the baby bean has yet to realize that you're missing, but she's not all there so you can't really blame her.
my mom sent me an email and it said that you were in god's hands now. that i should be strong and you'll be back before i know it. but the only way that could happen is if you walked thru the door right now. and i know you won't.
all i have to ask is that you be careful and watch out for yourself. drink lots of water and stay hydrated. just be safe and make sure you come home to me and the beans because we won't make it without you.
i love you.
