The Pool You Never Had

Dear Henry, 
Please forgive Mommy and Daddy.  The first year of your life we had a pool in our backyard.  The old man that lived here before us didn't open it for 10 years.  We tried for years before you came to us to get that dang thing doing what pools are supposed to do but the maintenance was too far gone.  So, this week the removal began.  No worries though...Crappaw and Grandma P have a pool and you enjoyed the IU pool this past summer well enough.  In place of broken, cracked and peeling concrete, cold water due to too much shade and a water bill burning up money faster than the water leaking will be a nice big lawn for you to run and play.
Love, Mommy
