Dear Sawyer,
I sure wish you were here right now. Yesterday we got a puppy. His name is Tank and he's a beautiful, big dog. Only 8 or 9 months old, so he still has lots of energy. I got him because I thought he'd help Stephanie, but I think he's helping me more. We've spent a lot of time together the last 24 hours. He gets worried when I leave, and he follows me around when I'm here. I like having him around and he's helped keep my mind off the grief. Tonight was a different story though. We went to the baptism for the daughter of one of our friends. I thought about how I was never going to be able to baptize you. I think your mom had a hard time as well. I was not able to baptize Kelsey or Kaiden, even though I really wanted to. I was really looking forward to your baptism. I was asked to say the closing prayer. I didn't hesitate when I was asked a few days ago, but hadn't thought about how it would affect me. I was close to tears when I had to say the prayer. We had just sung "I am a child of God." Well, everyone else sung, your mom and I couldn't.
I wish you could have been here for this.
Love,
Dad
