This is the Jeff
I am now.
Not the Jeff I was
at thirteen,
nor the Jeff I was
at thirty.
They are the Jeff
I am in the memory
of the Jeff I am now,
but they are not
the Jeff in the picture.
The Jeff in the picture
is the Jeff I am now,
or is, at least,
the way I look
in a selfie sometimes.

You have a wonderful face -- strong, tender, fierce, and loving. Wishing you and yours well during these crazy (with danger and with brilliant potential) times, dear Jeff.
