FMK - Double A

Double A is your Aunt April. It is also the nickname of Arn Anderson, a retired pro wrestler and former member of the four horsemen. Not that that means much to you but, daddy likes wrestling and really liked the four horsemen. But I digress...
Aunt April is truly my little sister. She is like me in so many ways. I find it very strange the AA turned out so much like me and Tommy did not. I did not spend more time with AA or love either any more or less. She really is like a little me though. And that makes me happy because I am good.
The really important thing to know about AA is that she is probably the best of us. I say that without any second thoughts. She is better than anyone gives her credit for. And by better I mean that she is always underestimated. I believe that when all is said and done, AA will have taken the best from her family and turned it into something truly special. That is not to say that I or Tommy or anyone else is no good because that would simply be untrue. I really think that you girls have lucked out with the family you are going to have. I see it everyday, families that don't give a shit about each other. Families that are surprised to learn that they are people. And that is something you will never have to worry about. Your family will make sure that you know you are loved and appreciated. We will also make sure you now that you are not perfect. And AA will have a huge role in that. Merely by her age and proximity, she gets to be the cool aunt. The one who lets you drive early and drink wine coolers. And that is awesome.
AA is a very sweet girl. She is one of the nicest people I know. She always has been. Ever since she was little she always brought a smile to everyone's face. Big Buzz calls her his "chick". You have to understand what a huge thing that is for Buzz to voice out loud. You will see photos eventually and understand what I mean about her. There was no cuter kid as far as I am concerned. (at least other than both of you). And there was no sweeter little girl in the world than her. Everyone will tell you that.
AA is also extremely cool. She has her finger on the pulse as the saying goes. She likes good media. She knows about movies and music and books. She is culturally savvy. And she will impart this to you. She is just 18 and will be cool for a long time.
I could continue and perhaps I will. There will surely be things about the people who are going to love you that I want to get down. But for now I will end with this. I hope each of you grows up like AA. If your mom and I can do as good a job with the two of you as my parents did with her, we will be very lucky.
