Hello again, Emmy!

Today we went horseback riding, for your birthday present. You fell off, and despite your embarrassment, you got back on. It was hilarious — I don't think I've heard such colorful words escape your pretty little lips!
After we went horseback riding, we went and got ice cream. I dropped my cone on the pavement and some little kids laughed at me. I think we're both even now, huh?
When I'm gone, I'm going to miss your laughter, and your ability to look on the bright side.
But I know in my heart that if you ever find someone else when I'm gone, you will make them so happy.
Yes, goofball, you have my permission to be with someone else when I'm gone. I don't think it's really nice to restrict you. I'm not your slave-master, for heaven's sake — I'm your boyfriend!
You're in the shower right now, singing a song I don't know.
When I'm gone, I'm going to miss your melodic (yet screechy) singing voice.
Maybe look into some voice lessons?
Just kidding!
I love you so much. Stay strong, beautiful.

Much love,
Cameron
