Dear Precious Daughter,<br />
I am your daddy in Heaven, and I love you so much!<br />
I know you have a daddy on earth too --- I created him,<br />
just as I created you. But I am the God of all Heaven and earth,<br />
and I am you King and you are my daughter.<br />
You are precious to me in every way.<br />
You will always be my girl and I will always be<br />
YOUR GOD!<br />
I will always love you, no matter what you do,<br />
and I will NEVER leave you!<br />
Love,<br />
Your King<br />
<br /></div>

This is a black bear!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, it is a <b><i>blonde</i></b> black bear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Confusing. I know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But... it is what it is.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So why am I posting a picture of a bear and a stranger?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(no, it's not Caleb)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, funny you should ask....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that's exactly what I wanted to tell you about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Caleb has the opportunity to work for an outfitter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in Idaho in the Wilderness of No Return.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(he better return!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bear Hunting Season started the day after he got there last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has 3 more weeks of bear hunters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think they have gotten 4 so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Caleb called me after the first bear kill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Mom, I helped gut a bear and then hauled it on my</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4-wheeler. I think I have died and gone to heaven."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He will be there for the summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is having an incredible experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loving all that he gets to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We miss him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT... very excited for him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
