...None of you had to accept me. I would have forgiven if you of all people never could. But I'm grateful that you did--you've been more help to me in turn than you know or that I could ever begin to express, and I'm glad that you feel the same.

You're my family--my dear nephew, and I love you wholeheartedly. Whenever you have need of me, I will always endeavor to be there.
