Dear John [Jean] Paul,
Over the past few years, I have grown to know you from a puppy to a fine young dog. When I first met you, you turned on your back and peed all over yourself. I wasn't sure if you would be a good fit for us, but soon you grew up and became a worthy companion and a friend. Your peeing shenanigans have subsided and I have grown to respect you more. Your kissing booth always boosts my morale and I am grateful for your presence.
Sincerely,
Matt
