Dear Luke,
As you know, I read, search, and ask lots of questions of people. This has been my job for 20 years. Everyday I learn something new and in the computer industry are required to learn new stuff all the time. You never stop learning...
So, I learned about your illness (chronic fatigue syndrome) also know as CFS. I learned that you need to (as much as it pains you) using that drive, I know you have, to get up and do some exercising to help you sleep at night. Also, you need to get some vitiman D ("sun light"). These two things like when you were a little boy help you to fight off viruses and can get you back on your feet. I sure miss that energy (you remember when I used to race you around the house, you always beat me!).
Dig deep Luke and fight this crap!
Love ya,
Dad

Out with Mono - That Sucks!
Dear Luke, Now you have missed some school work and even had to miss some days are work. I hope that you will have the focus necessary to dig in and get back on track with work. You have the smarts and are really a hard worker when you mind is rested. Keep up the rest and eating right, so you don't miss so much school. I would tell you that you should invest in a short-term disability package that allows you to miss work for illness and get paid. Otherwise, you might find yourself without work and without pay. This would really suck when Mom is not there handing you twenties. Get well; stay well; and work work your butt off. Baseball is near and I am excited for a great pitching season. It should be a blast! I pray and hope that you get a chance to play again (I know I missed Basketball as soon as High School was over for me), enjoy the moments you get as a high schooler!
Love ya,
Dad

Remembering that perfect game
Dear Luke,
An All-Star in Little League, Luke was amazing. Drifting into the game like another day in the park, he took the mound against the 6 best on the other All-Star team. As a pitcher, he only was allowed to pitch 2 innings. Luke made the best of those innings against those 6 best of the other team. Batter 1 up to the plate; the look in Luke's eyes from 45 feet from the plate was directly on the catchers mit. First pitch, strike one; second pitch strike two; batter steps out to get sign; next pitch strike three; batters out. Now there were 5 more batters to come to face Luke each battled at the plate. At the end of that 2nd inning of pitching the scores book showed K K K K K K.
Wow! You rarely see that in little league. Normally, you see this kind of stuff in the Majors. It was that moment when Luke knew he had the stuff. What a memory for all those watching that game.

Dear Luke,
My dearest Luke, you have such talent. I wish you all the best in what ever you pursue. If you wanted to be a Doctor, I beleive you could be a doctor; if you wanted to be a professional athlete, I beleive you could be a professional athlete. You have been blessed by god with skills that you hide so well. Let those skills out and bring all your energy to the surface to challenge yourself to do well for all the world to see. I dare you.
Love ya,
Dad
