I feel so lost in this world without you. I didn’t realize how much I needed you until you weren’t there anymore. You were such a special person and I wish I could have said more sooner. I love you so much mom. I hate thinking about all the years of my life that I have left without you cheering me on the whole way. You were always my biggest supporter in any thing. It didn’t matter what it was, you always believed in me. You always told me how proud you were of me, and how you hit the jackpot with me and Shannon. I love you so much. I miss you so much. I just feel so tortured without you. My life will never be the same. I will never be the same

People who have never moved from their childhood home are usually the ones to tell you to “embrace moving”. I have moved over 15 times in my life. I’m 21 and I’m about to move again. People don’t understand what it’s like to finally be comfortable, and then have to get up and leave again. People don’t understand that you lose a little every time you move. It’s just so hard for me sometimes. I don’t want to leave my home. I have been here the longest. I’ve cried the most here. I’ve had so many firsts here. These walls hold so many secrets to me. I just wish I didn’t have to go
I don’t know why people think it’s so strange that I want to reach out to the brother I never knew I had. Wouldn’t you? I just finished writing 1 of 6000 rough drafts. I’m gonna send this one. It’s in the envelope, with hopefully the correct address, and stamped. I’m afraid to put it in the mailbox, but I’m going to do it. I hope I don’t turn his life upside down. What if he never knew??? What if he grew up thinking someone else was his father? Idfk life is too short to not take risks so I’m doing it and I feel good about it too
