2020 June 20 – Los Angeles, California

Hey Babe. You wouldn't believe the world now. It's crazy, beautiful, and messed up, all at once. You'd have loved to see how far we've come, the gadgets we have now and hated all the men trying to ruin things as they do. Remember how you marveled at the simplest things? Now, we've got tech that would blow your mind. The first half of 2020, it's been a whirlwind, diary.

Pandemics, protests, and people pushing for change.

Technology's been a lifeline, connecting us in a world forced apart. I've seen the best and worst of humanity, all in the span of a few months. It's fascinating how humans rally, adapt, innovate – especially when their backs are against the wall while at the same time destroying the things and people around them.

I talk about the VR worlds, the digital connections, the way we can be together while being miles apart. You'd have a field day with this stuff. We could've explored new worlds without ever leaving our room. And you would have been safe.

But it's not just the tech, Henry. It's the people, their spirit. Some of them are fighting for a better world, just like you did. Your spirit, it's still here, in every protest, every call for justice. You'd be right there with them, a rebel with a cause. The night grows deeper, and I miss you, Henry. Every day, every moment. But I carry you with me, in every adventure, every smile. You're my ghost in the machine, my heavenly cowboy. I know you hear these things and that helps. Be home soon babe.
