Letter from Sammy: May 20, 1991
Today is Sammy's birthday, so I thought I would post a letter/drawing that he sent to me when he was little. I think he was probably about 7 years old when he wrote/drew this.
I just want to point out a few things about the picture. The third little guy standing on the moon is thinking "I hope I am a blue whal [whale]." Sammy was fond of blue whales during this period, ever since he was told that they were the largest living creatures on the planet. Also, it is hard to see on this scan, but the little guy running along the sun ray is saying "Ouch! The sun is cilling [killing] me!" Lastly, there is an instruction in the bottom right to turn the page over, but the back is actually blank -- apparently my aunt mailed off his letter before he had a chance to finish talking about the rest of Chris' dancing antics.
