“Hi Auntie, thinking of you. Finally, twenty now! It's certainly been a roller coaster already. I've just gotten everything together for fall classes this semester. (albeit a bit late)... I had an okay birthday, nothing special. As per usual the older you get, the less special birthdays are. I'm looking forward to 25, (that's it LOL) so I can have cheaper car insurance. I'm not excited for 21, as I don't touch alcohol at all. But glad for more time on this spinning rock we call home. I'm heading out on vacation tomorrow with Jayden (9 days long). We're both so excited! we've been looking forward to it for a long time now. (my job gave me PTO) We're going to tour the west side of Michigan doing a circle around Lake Michigan essentially. Going to Silver Lake sand dunes, then Traverse city, Mackinaw Island (my third time), then a tour of the Upper peninsula which will be so much fun! then, back down through Wisconsin. Illinois, Indiana and maybe Ohio and any other places in-between! Me and Jayden will be together for two years this October 13th! Crazy how time flies. August 4th we will have known each other for two years now. I cannot wait!!! It'll be so much fun, especially with the love of my life! Works been busy (as per usual) but well. I'll have my 1-year work anniversary October 6th. (Again, time flies). Car situation has been interesting, after the 25 Mach-E I got a 26' Bronco to drive and put miles on for Emma, Josh, and Beckett. They need a new family car. So, she built it how she wanted and I just got the pleasure of driving it! I ordered a 2027 fully loaded Explorer Tremor we'll take on next year's vacation; I really like it. Not sure if we'll get another lease or I'll buy out the explorer if its cheap enough. Anyways! I have to get to bed, I'm typing this knowing I have work at 8am today. Love you buckets! _ Jack”

“Hello Auntie, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday! I miss you very much. I've been thinking of you recently. I was reading a book about a Viet. family, and it just reminded me a lot of our family. And more so it reminded me of you. Sorry I'm a bit late, it's been very stressful recently. Your dad, Bo, has been having health issues recently. We worry a lot, the sisters have been preparing for the worst, and he had his second stroke a couple months ago, which was two weeks after the first one. I plan to visit soon, just plane tickets are so expensive with the state of the world right now. I'm really worried about him, I love grandpa so much, I respect him so deeply, and he's given our family all that we have through his own and grandma's sacrifice. I always want to honor that by being as successful and as happy as possible. As dad always tells me and Aves, " I will just be happy [as a father] if you and Aves are independent, and happy". So, I try my best, I'm currently working full time at Subaru for the summer, I love it here but it's incredibly stressful. We do 100+ cars a day during summertime, and I get at least 10-15% of them in my own bay. I have my own toolbox and impact I just bought, I'm very proud. I just hope one day my constant sacrifice at work will go noticed, As it's gone unnoticed for now. But I believe it will pay off. School has gone well, I just finished for the summer with a 3.42 GPA for the semester, an improvement over my first semester, but not the 3.7+ I'm aiming for. Me and Jayden are doing well, we plan to move in after I finish college now, which looking back is the obvious choice, so early 2028. We've been slowly building a life together, and It's one I'm already proud of. I've started investing, I have nearly 5 figures saved up, and we just bought a 2012 Lincoln MKZ for Jayden March 10th. (I picked the car) and I do all the service on it. It was one owner, and garage kept, it has a couple minor things I need to get done, but I've been chipping away at it. I had to replace the sunroof because it was leaking into the cabin and causing water intrusion issues. I was able to fix it before it became an actual problem for only $47 (junkyard sunroof assembly b/c this generation of the fusion platform is plentiful here). Lincoln would've wanted $3K+ to do it so I'm happy my Career is already paying off. It's a burgundy/plum MKZ with the full chrome wheels, with a black interior with brown piping on the leather. It sure is a beauty, and I find it funny I bought ford since dad has worked for them for 25+ years now. I'm almost twenty. I can't honestly believe it. It's weird getting older, watching all my friends from high school go separate paths, but such is life. I don't want to leave my teens if that makes sense, it keeps me feeling young even though I'll only be twenty, it's just the "teenager" aspect I'll be losing. Anyways, I need to keep you updated more; I'll do my best. I love you so much Auntie Tina, - Love Jack”

“Hi Auntie Tina! There is so much to catch up on. I graduated Highschool with a 3.73 GPA Overall, and I've just completed my first semester of college. I finished with a 3.33 GPA, not the greatest but I've been really busy with work. I work at Subaru of Ann Arbor now. I'm an express technician. I really enjoy my job. I started on October 6th, 2025. It's a place I can really see myself at in 10+ years. I make good money there. I love the hands-on challenge of it all! Me and Auntie Sam are going out to dinner with Jayden tomorrow. I'm excited for the Christmas dinner! we're going to Pho Vinh in Farmington where Auntie Sam Lives. Me and my partner Jayden have been together for over a year now. Crazy how time flies, its been 15 wonderful months with Jayden and we keep falling more and more in love with each other. We're moving in together in early spring of 2027. It's crazy how busy I've been, so sorry for a lack of chats. The older I get the more stressful and chaotic it gets, which I guess is what everyone says... I bought a project car in March this year. It's a 1998 Acura RL. It's a very rare car, limited production numbers, I plan to restore it! Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you, and I love you very much. I heard that time your played music in my car that reminds me of you, my Spotify DJ never played that song, and it came on when I was thinking of you. I can't believe it's been six whole years. An I'm 20 in a couple months! AHHHHHHH. This Christmas is going to be a big one, Baby Beckett, Emma and Josh's son, was born in October. He is ADORABLE. I love him so much, I strive to be a good uncle for him. There are so many additions to the family, Jay, Beckett, and I'm sure more kiddos in the future from Jenelle and Hadley. I attended their wedding, it was a blast dancing to Chappel Roan on the dance floor surrounded by family. Wish you were there, Love you bunches! (Also, I figured out how to get rid of the character limit) Heheheheh. - Jack”

“Hello Auntie! It’s Jack. I can’t believe its been five years ago to the day today since we lost you… Holidays, especially Christmas have never been the same without you, only fairly recently have they returned to some what of a resemblance of normalcy. 18 has so far treated me well! I’ve hit a lot of milestones this year in my life, as well as meeting a truly wonderful person I’m lucky enough to call my partner. Halfway through senior year! I can’t believe I’m almost done! Crazy how time flies!! I recently was able to finish the first quarter of my senior year with straight A’s. I’ve applied for Henry Ford Community college and was lucky enough to get into their excellent automotive program. I’ve recently been able to really work on cars, and I absolutely love it. I’m so excited to pursue a life-long career and hopefully once day start my own business. The holidays have been a blast! Unfortunately actually I was in my third car accident this November, which is strange because all three happened in November. There was no damage, but the girl drove away, which I was shocked at. However, I knew who she was because this happened right outside of school so I had all of her information. I’m apparently really unlucky when it comes to getting rear-ended, three accidents NEITHER of which were my fault. Thankfully all okay, just a reminder to be extra safe while driving. I turned in my 2023 Escape and will be getting a 2025 Mach-E this March! SO exited! Love you so much Auntie! - Jack”

“Hi Auntie. Always thinking of you, recently, last Saturday actually, was my best friend’s birthday party. Delaney turned 17! We’ve been friends for over seven years now. I had the most fun I’ve ever had. We won the tournament of volleyball and badminton and took so many photos. I’m two months away from my eighteenth birthday! I’m so nervous but excited. I wanted to wish you a happy 49th Birthday, albeit a little late! Everyone’s birthday has been recently! We’re worried about Kristine however, she spent her birthday in the ER with jaundice and low iron. She was yellow when I visited her Yesterday. I couldn’t help but cry seeing her like that, but all is well. We think she’ll be ok. It’s not life threatening but very serious nevertheless. We’re approaching the end of my Junior year, and I am getting a job working on cars like grandpa did! Funny how things go full circle. We also took a road trip down to Florida! I drove over 1,500 miles and I hit numerous mileage milestones with Willow the Ford Escape. It was an absolute blast and I enjoyed it so much. I plan to go back to California soon after/ around my eighteenth birthday when I can buy plane tickets and fly myself there. (I’ll take Aves with) Haven’t been there since last year with the wildfires. It was crazy, I was with auntie Quynh talking when the fire came over the hill. We saw so many emergency lights! We love you and miss you so much! Love, - Pookie”

“Dear Auntie, A lot has happened since I last wrote to you, my apologies it’s been so long. Four years ago today we lost you. I miss you wonderful bubbly and bright personality. I have some bad news, Rockie was put down July 14th 2023, after he bit one of our foster puppies. I miss him a lot too. I got into two car accidents within two weeks of one another. I was driving home from work and got rear ended at around 5mph. My back and neck hurt and I was fine, the second one I was leaving the School parking lot and I got rear ended too, I saw her coming and tried to move out of her way but still got hit. Neither accident was my fault and the damages to the 2023 Ford Escape I named “Willow” came to about $1,000. We didn’t have to pay however, since it wasn’t my fault and my dashcam proved it. It’s a strange feeling after four years from then. I miss you everyday and I love to look back on fond memories when you used to visit. Tomorrow the 22nd is the last day of school. I bought candy Canes for my friends for x-mas break. I got them at Busch’s which I currently work stocking shelves! I love to do little acts of kindness here and there, and I think I was influenced by you for that!! I’m in automotive technology and I’d like to pursue a career and business in it! Just like grandpa, I got a 93% on my Economics final exam today with midterms coming up! I got 140/150 pts! I’m currently studying for my chem test. I just wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you. Love you!! -Pookie”
