A letter to 22 from 21

Dear 22,

    I hope this letter finds you in the highest of spirits, 16, 17 and 20 all send their love and hope the best for you.  Now on to more important matters,  I have often wondered about you and how you will be embracing the changes you will no doubt be taking, I image you are preparing for the year, and the plans you will be making are (As I have complete trust in you) going to be marvelous!  I'm sure our friend Todd will be quite comfortable with you, he can at sometimes be a bit of a nuisance but he does have his moments (Make sure to make the most of those moments).  All I ask of you is to make sure that Todd is living a life that will be worthy of our family who is to come after us, make this year one that even 100 will hear of.  I beg of you to always make sure that Todd is living one of honor, respect and humbleness.  Let's pray we don't have another 13 again, we all know that was a terrible year.  But I just want you to know that I believe in you and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have Todd's best interest in heart.  We have a good thing going on right now, so stay true to the course and never cease, because the moment we fall out of line is the moment we have failed this young mans life.  Don't allow him to screw this up.  In fact as often as possible refer him to the man upstairs.  I mean God is the only reason we even exist,  He is the reason our path changed so much from 7 to 8, you remember the story that 8 tells us!  The moment we stepped into this race.   So be sure to encourage Todd as he runs the race, strengthen his resolve to be more then flesh and blood.  Remember though even if you do stumble on the way it is like the great scholar C. S. Lewis once said, "Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."  So even if that point comes when he is in the toughest situation remember that experience will teach him something amazing.

So my brother, I love you and am looking forward to what you are going to do, may it be nothing less than spectacular.  

Knock em out kid.

Love,
 

21
