Dear Siggy,

It sure has been a while hasn't it? I miss the adventures we shared, chasing cars and the Roaches. Exploring New York, smoking in our meeting spot, and playing cards in Dilly's...

However, the past is in the past. And even if we can't go back, I want to meet you guys and see each other again. Since I hopped on a train that took me to Ohio, I got a job working as a construction worker. Once Marielle was out of school, we eloped and bought ourselves a small house in Pennsylvania. Now we got a little boy. Can you imagine me a father? We named him Thomas.

I'm sorry for up and leaving you like that. But I knew you would be alright. You were a tough kid with brains, and a mouth too. And loyal to a fault. Boy, we loved you for that.

If you know where Theo is, let him know I want to meet you guys at Dilly's this Saturday at 2:00 pm. Thanks.

Your friend,
Andrew Grove
