Dear family,

We're sorry for your loss...

You're probably right. I am a dick sometimes.

I just don't think I'd ever want a letter like that. I'd rather not receive anything, but that's just what I think now. If either one of my kids join the military, I reserve the right to change my mind. Right now I just don't think I could handle a letter.
