well things are really starting to pick up lately. not in a good way either. its good to hear that your home. hows mom doing? keep reassuring her that i'll be ok. and do me a favor. this isn't something i can tell mom.

if i don't make it, make sure [to take care of our sisters] especially rachel. and make sure mom takes care of herself. i seriously think she'd lose it if i was killed. everytime i talk to her on the phone she cries. just make [sure] shes taken care of, you know. ok jen, i gotta get going. i still got work to do. love you and miss you.

your brother,
dale
