"I remember the time in 1974 we took a road trip to Lafayette to see my brother at Purdue. We got some quality time in that weekend. It seems like it was only last year. Time is so short here. You don't have to be concerned about that in Heaven. Enjoy seeing your mother and old friends & family again! Love you, Mike!"
