Hey Super Bird --
I have been thinking about your Uncle Paulie lately (mostly because he is getting married next weekend) and about how much I admire him. So, I thought I'd let you know why.
Your Uncle Paulie is who he is. I know that either sounds very simple or very confusing. When I say that he is who he is I mean that he has taken the time to search out what he believes and what he loves, and now he lives his life based on his beliefs and passions.
Most people that I run into live their lives based on what others think and what other people want. That is pretty much a waste of life, in my opinion. God has given each one of us life so that we can be us - not what others want or think we should be.
So, promise me this: that you will be who you are, just like Uncle Paule is who he is.
Much love,
Papa
