It's been a while, how are you?

Oh, you know. Living the dream.

I have scars you'll never see.

And the kids?

They're great. They turned out alright.

In spite of everything.

How's the weather there, where you are?

It's beautiful today, couldn't complain.

It's hard to breathe, even in all this fresh air.

And didn't you get a dog?

His name is Toby, he loves the water.

He saves me from drowning.

How are you, really?

I'm good, I swear. I'm perfect. I'm happy and healthy.

I miss you.
