The Winning Hand

Michael Reed

Groomsman

Two families turning into one, dealt across a green felt table.

we were unstoppable at that table
A letter to MichaelTwenty-one

Michael,

Meeting you affirmed everything I already knew about the incredible family you come from. Seeing you as a father showed me what is possible.

Watching you with little Ellie, whom I have come to absolutely adore, has meant so much to me. And hearing you tell me how happy you are that I am with Heather meant the entire world.

At the blackjack table, we were unstoppable. Even though we are apparently no longer allowed to talk about gambling, I know for a fact that you have crushed every sports bet you have ever called out.

I am so excited to create more memories with you, Melissa, and your babies. I feel incredibly lucky that our families are becoming one.

P.S. — Melissa, the babies, all of it. Can't wait.

Will you be my groomsman?

Always, — The Groom
