Hide-and-go-seek

Got a letter from my nephew. It brings about mixed emotions. I'm happy to hear from him and a sad at the same time. He tells me "it's not fun" over there. He's an only child and his mother isn't around much. Everyone else at the house works and they really don't have the energy to keep up with an 8 year old when they come home. So when I was there I always tried to make time for him and when I didn't I felt guilty. He's already seen a lot of crap and what he needs is to just be a kid. To have his fun and not care about anything. To have someone to joke with, to run around and play hide-and-go-seek with. Me being 5 years old mentally I can totally relate. But now I'm out here doing my own thing. Trying to grow up... and feeling guilty.

I'll be back soon. Miss you buddy.
