i wish my dad had told me that jumpin' out of a tree to see if i could fly wasn't a good idea... course, i needed to be told that at sixteen, which prob'ly isn't normal. i blame the ouzo.

seriously though, i couldn't agree more, you'd be an awesome dad. you're joyful and open-minded and you take things as what they, and people as they come. that's worth so much in a world like this, man. ain't many people willin' to do that. any kid would be lucky to be yours. i reckon all the kids growin' up around you are lucky to have an uncle thomas. i wish there could be a daddy thomas, but failin' that, i'm real glad there's kids out there like zoe and bianca and matthew and thomas and all the others who get to have you in their lives. that's a big difference in the world, man, and you're makin' it. cos y'know, you're awesome.
