YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND A LOT LATELY.  Just wanted to thank you for the little red trike I rode in a million circles on the driveway.  And the silver scooter we hauled up hills together.  And the sting-ray.  And the 10-speed. 

For coming to my races and embarrassing me with your big, giant yell.

Thank you for getting me through university.

For helping me get started,
so that one day I could do those same things for my little tribe.

I wish I could tell you in person.  I'm sure I did many times.  But, I'd like to do it again.
