Hey my brother!
What's this I hear about you slacking off the past few days? Doesn't sound like your style at all.
I've been adventuring in Nevada & Utah all week. Ever since hearing about your crash on Sunday, I've been thinking and talking about you constantly; so much that it almost feels like you're here biking & camping with us.
Yesterday, Sarah and I opted for double dessert instead of a beer with dinner - some wisdom that she gleaned from you last time we all camped together.
Looking forward to riding/camping/chilling with you again soon!
They say that when people recover from serious injuries like yours, the experience makes them a better/stronger person. If that's true, I'm eager to see the amazing superhuman that emerges from this mess... can't imagine an even better version of you!
I'm glad to hear you're in the company of what sounds like an incredible family; I'm looking forward to meeting them soon - hope you don't mind if I swing by for a visit when I get back to NJ on Sunday?
Until then, rest up, heal up, and enjoy all the great and well-deserved things that everyone's saying about you here. But don't expect all this to continue after you're back on your feet... then it's back to good-natured ball-busting, as it should be!
Love you man,
-Woody
PS: I hope your true siblings don't mind that I call you 'my brother'. I don't use that word lightly, or mean for it to diminish their special relationship with you. I also have many siblings, and I'm feeling the same kind of pain for you now as I do when one of them is injured.
