Dear Little Brother (even though you’re older),

So…I read this book, Love Letter To The Dead. It’s good and I honestly couldn’t help but cry reading it. It was amazing. I understood some things -like how Laurel missed May, her sister- that I could NOT get over thinking about. I miss you, a ton. Our oldest brother had a baby… again with his wife. Brother showed me a song called ‘Two Again’, by Cristian Burrows. It reminds me of you. So much has been happening since you went, even though that was 6 years ago. Last year, Mom, brought me a necklace charm, with you on it. I haven’t taken it off ’til now, because my chain needs to be fixed. I admit, I haven’t been the easiest to be around with Mom and Dad because I’ve been……………ANYWHOOO, I’m doing my best to be good for them. School is a prison. Though I like my teachers, I can’t stand learning! I’ve been reading and listening to music and this year I made a few new friends. I lost one of my best friends so its hard without her, but I guess that’s life. I hope you’re okay and all. Honestly, I don’t know if God is real, and I don’t know if you’re in heaven. I also don’t know if I truly will ever see you again. I have so many questions for you. Were you afraid? Are you safe and happy? Why did you have to go? Why did you leave your home? Did you want to? Did you have a choice? Just, What? Why? How? When? Anything…! I wish you were with me still. I wish you would correct me when I’m rude! Even if I HATED it! I have a quote for you. “If you can’t fly, run, if you can’t run, walk, if you can’t walk, crawl, but do anything to keep moving forward” ~ Martin Luther King Jr. I want to do that. I just wish you could come with me. Through the doors to my own new world, or, just like May took Laurel, maybe you could have taken me through yours.

Love You With My Universe, Your "Baby" Sister
