Precious Memory

While going through some old stuff, I just came across some­thing precious—the let­ter in which Sam and his kids invit­ed me to move in with them. It reads:

Sun­day, April 18, 1999

Dear Cyn­thia,

You are wel­come here. You are wel­come to live with us. 

You are wel­come to have your birth­day here, and share Christ­mas with us, and be with us all the time.

We like you, and you can keep your stuff here, and we would like for you to live with us.

Yours sin­cere­ly,

Sam Chupp
