Dear Daddy,
Mommy told me that we're moving to a new house, this one will be smaller. At first I was sad that I wouldn't get to see my friends, but then Mommy told me it's just a few minutes away from the house we live in now.
I actually live a lot closer to Ben! Now we can play cops and robbers every day.
Though I'm still a little sad. Mostly because I still have a lot of memories of you there, and I'm scared they might go away when Mommy and I move to the new house.
Maybe if you come back we can make new ones! Will you please come back?
I miss you.
-Love Anthony
