Good morning Maximilian...by now in flight, it is after 4 am where ever you may be over the Atlantic Ocean and today is the first day of your very first vacation without your Papa. Of course you know I am going to meet up with you and Mommy in a couple of weeks...nevertheless, it is our first time away from each other and I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how very much I miss you. You mean the absolute world to me and I can't wait to see you...this house, even with Dennis and Sonya here, is simply not the same with out you here. I miss you buddy...and this pretty much settles it...we are not going to do this again, nor will you ever be able to move too far from me...
...I do hope that you are having a great time with Mutti and that you had a great flight (with lots of good sleep)...and by time you read this, I hope that you are getting lots of hugs and kisses from Oma, Opa, Onkle Daniel and Taunte Angela...and you better let them know they better get those hugs and kisses while they can, because once I get to Hamburg, I am never going to let you go! I love you Max...kiss Mommy for me - you are such a big boy. I love you Max (and Mommy).
Always - Papa
