December 19. “I’m feeling on top of the world and, Button, it is a stupendous feeling. I feel that life is indeed beautiful.”

“But you have reason to feel that way all the time considering the kind of life you live…”

“I agree one hundred percent. I am probably one of the luckiest people alive. I couldn’t have asked for more!”

“I am also feeling wonderful counting the number of days left for the workers to pull down the ply and refix the windows.”

“Another 3-4 days and the world will be bright and beautiful once again. I am also looking forward to hugging you hard and long.”

“Can’t wait.”
