Dear Charlie,
I am currently in France, at a small patio. It is sunny and warm and I am spending it having my birthday coffee while I see a young woman sing "La Vie En Rose" and playing her yellow ocher guitar. I have to admit, best birthday I've had in so long. I heard you are going be a father! I received you're letter this morning, it didn't took long since you married Tessa last year! You guys are fast! I am honored you asked me to be the godparent, I really don't know what to say, since I barely see you two. But I'll gladly accept.
Time passes really fast, and I am trying to catch up, I am. Since I last saw you I've been doing nothing but traveling, I got a job as a photographer for a cultural web magazine. I've covered all Europe! I was supposed to be on my way to Jerusalem but decided to stay a few more days for my birthday. I've met so many great people, some bad people too, and yet it is incredible how lonely you can get on a Monday afternoon with a perfect blue sky.
Anyways, I'm not writing you to tell you how sad I am -mostly at night- I wanted to thank you for the gift you sent me! I don't know where did you get that picture of us, but thank you for taking the trouble of framing it and send it all the way here, it means a lot Charlie. I hope I get to see you and your soon to be family in the near future.
Love Always,
Joctan
