Foam, I wanted to check in on you this morning.

This is a brand new day and a brand new chance.

I want you to do me a favor, if you can. Please do not swear at your parents. I know, I know, you kids today use swear words like candy. Even if your parents use swear words, please don't swear back at them. I am sure that it makes them angry when you do.

Also, I would love to hear that you are talking to a school counselor, a minister, priest or someone. The cycle of your Dad slapping you must be stopped.

Please give Darlin a hug - several hugs and try to have some fun today.
