Sweet heart you have no idea what you mean to me. You have a long road ahead of you and a dad who loves you to go the distance with you. You know all the things we have talked about over the years. You know what needs to done. You've heard all my dumb speeches. I am so looking forward to all the things ahead of you. They will be your greatest accomplishments of all. There is no looking back at what's behind because when you do you lose sight of what's ahead of you. Fear is the devil's tool against us, and I've never seen you be scared really. So now is not the time to let it in the door. Life happens in a blink. It's time you start living yours and not the one you've made up so far. That's not you. I miss my little "pete". I'm ready for older more grown up "pete". I love you TTP
