Hey B,
How is my little buddy doing? I sure am glad that you are finally feeling better. Pops! has decided that you were sick because your system is needing some sugar and JUNK. Next time your with Pops! I think we should sneak off and get you so good old candy, or have we already done that? If we have, please don't tell mommy or daddy. I'm afraid that they might strip me of my pops! credentials.
I also hear that your Aunt Jan has been visiting this week. I've got some really good stories about her but please don't believe ANYTHING she tells you about me. See, she was the BABY of he family and she has a distorted view of what really went on when she was little. SHe'll probably tell you things about how I used to be mean to her but beware of her stories. You know pops! better than that. She'll tell you all this stories about pops! then she'll go out and buy you stuff to try to "win you over". I bet she's already done that, see I told you so!!! Be careful. :)
But, if you press me on the subject...she's really ok. She loves you. I think you are really special because you were born so close to her birthday, but she's so old I'm surprised she remembers her birthday. Enjoy the old girl because she really is a winner.
Remember...
pops! loves you

My President-Barack Obama
Hey B,
I hear that you have been sick, along with daddy and mommy. I'm glad that you all are better. I was really sad when I heard you were sick. I hope that you helped daddy and mommy feel better.
B. probably what I say today want make a lot of sense to you for years to come but maybe somehow you'll be able to read this 20 years from now and you'll appreciate it. But today is a very historic day. This country inagurated our 44th President. That within itself is not historic but the fact that he is an African American is. Twenty years from now I hope that this doesn't make sense to you, in a way. I hope that the events of today can forever change the course of this country as it comes to racism. Your pops! grew up in a racist country, specifically a racist south. I still live in an area that racism is still alive and "well". The inaguration of President Obama begins a new "beginning" in our country. I hope that the events of today will lead to a time in this country that no one will be judged by the color of their skin when you are a young man. I hope that when my little buddy is a young man that the idea of a "historic day" as it relates to minorities obtaining to the "mountaintop" of success is hard to imagine, not because it so rarely happens but because it is so commonplace. I hope that your generation sees people make it to the mountaintop because of their character and integrity, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or whatever ....
I was in meetings during the inaguration but before and after I thought of my little buddy. I happen not to agree with all of our new President's politics but he is my President and I want him to be successful. My prayer is that this country my be unified and that a new day has truly dawned in our republic.
My prayer is that today dawns the beginning of an era in which people who disagree politically can unite for the comon good of her people. I pray that today begins an era of true reconciliation between the peoples of this country that have been divided because of the demigods (sp?) that influence this country. I pray that today ends the political shenigans of the religious right and the venom of the liberal left and we become a people who grow and prosper because of our diversity.
I hope when daddy and mommy read this that they file it back somewhere and read it to my little buddy in about 18 years. Old pops! will probably be dead and gone but maybe just maybe you will understand the significance of this day to your pops! and remember....

The Henson men
"Hey babe, what's your name?"Hey B,
How's my little buddy doing? Pops! sure misses you. I had a great time visiting you over the Christmas holidays. It will probably be a long time before we get to see each other again and that really hurts. Your old pops! sure wishes that you were closer to Alabama.
Jadda got her new puppy after we got back from California. I sure wish you could be around to play with her. Jadda and Daisy have really gotten close in a short few days.
Tell mommy and daddy to update your blog with some new pictures.
Chef Brendan at your serviceI have really missed getting up early and having breakfast with you and your daddy. I even enjoyed making your eggs every morning. And then when we finished breakfast you and I would cook on your new stove. It was really great seeing you with your new toys on Christmas day. Hopefully soon, you'll be back closer and we'll have Christmas everytime I see you. I could really spoil you. I guess with a little sister coming along(that's my guess) I'll have to make more money so I can spoil both of you. You haven't told mommy and daddy everything that we talked about, have you? We have to have our secrets!!!!
It sure was a lot of fun having all the Henson men together. I think we make a pretty sporty bunch myself.
"Pops! you look short and fat!!!"And you were right when you said that you had daddy and mommy right where you wanted them. But be careful, they are pretty sharp and they my figure it out.
But remember,
Pops! loves you
