Dad,

You scared me on Sunday night. The drive to the ER was a horrifying experience. Take better care of yourself. I hope the worst is over. The operation was a success, but it’s time to recover. Drop the work phone. Take better care of yourself. That way you don’t have to spend the night in a room with a snoring patient roomie to the monotonous beeps. That way, Anthony and I don’t have to fall asleep on stale foam chairs or window sills, dozing to the lullabies of monotonous monitor beeps. Take better care of yourself, K? I’m glad your back home.

Love,

Your Son
