Dear Ruby,

Hey sweetie, hope you’re doing well.

Do you have any big plans for the eclipse?

They started a lockdown more than 24 hours ahead of time. So, I’ll only be able to see it get dark out my window, but there are a few channels broadcasting live. The next good total eclipse is in 2028, but it is in Australia. However, if the next couple months go accordingly, I’ll be able to take us both to go see it. We will have to get you a passport though.

Are you still interested in astronomy? When you were little there was a star you would say was your girlfriend, lol.

My brother (Uncle Frankie) has sent me a few books on the cosmos and astronomy. Very cool stuff! When I get up and go to breakfast at 4:45 am and the sky is clear, I can see a lot of different stars and the colors they put off. The most noticeable are alderalaan and beatlgeuise, they are red and orange. I’m definitely going to invest in a high-quality telescope when I get out. Just one of the new hobbies I plan on incorporating in my new life.

This week I made another big leap toward seeing you again! God has really done some unimaginably powerful things in my life and I can’t wait to share His teachings and His will for us with you!

I love you and miss you with all my heart,

And remember, God made you special and He loves you very much!

Love, Daddy
