My Deerest Reason,
I know you’re busy with life and don’t have time for the likes of me. But I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas! And I hope you and the family are well. Crazy weather lately. And a new Covid wave is going nuts. Stay safe. Life is precious. Time is precious. But you… well, you already know how I feel about that.
