I'm so glad we had this time together...
Abby's been on the island for a while now: since September 10, 2009. She's finally heading home and will be gone as of March 18, 2011. I'd like to thank everyone who tagged and threaded with her. I'll probably miss some people, so I apologize in advance if you should have received a note and didn't.
The letters are below...
Tony and Ziva - If you're reading this, then the goddess has decided to send me home. I thought about writing a separate one for each of you, then realized that didn't make sense, since you're together. For all I know, she's already sent one of you or Gibbs home before me, but this is just in case. McGee might have come back, too, and maybe even Kate or Ducky. This place is very hinky. Anything is possible. You two are awesome together. (Don't blow it, DiNozzo, and don't do anything too risky.) As I write this, you're still expecting the Little One. I'm sorry if I've missed their arrival. Tell them their Aunty Abby loves them and is sorry she didn't get to meet them. I have a present for them: a blanket. I didn't make it, but I chose it. It's in my bedroom. It's light-weight cotton and green and black. Green for nature and black because... it goes with everything. I'm sorry I'll miss the wedding, too... You get my lab and the contents and that includes the recipe for CafPow! (TM). It's up to you if you want to continue producing it or not. Keep up the good fight. If I remembered that I'd been here, I'd be missing you guys right now. A lot. Love, Abby.
Gibbs - As of writing this, I haven't seen your finished boat. I hope it goes well. I really wanted to see how you got it out of the basement. I haven't figured that out from the last time, either. Don't forget to look after yourself and to look out for the others. Oh, and don't forget to let them look after you. Miss you, Gibbs. Love, Abby.
McGee - As I write this, you've been on the island a few times already, but you aren't here right now. I don't know if you're coming back or if you'll remember any of your previous times here or anything. Just make sure you take care of your collar and don't let Tony and Ziva fight too much and... look both ways before you cross the street. Fight the good fight, Tim. Love, Abby.
Alphonse Elric - Looks like the goddess finally decided to send me home. That's the only reason you'd be reading this, Al. Thank you for being my friend and for making space in your life to love me. I'm leaving you my cookie recipes. Maybe you can make them and sell them at your store? There's nothing quite like home-baked cookies for therapy. They'd go well with a cup of one of your herbal teas or maybe warm milk with honey from your bee hive. I hope you get home again some day and be with your brother and... be happy. I wish you happiness. Miss you. Love, Abby.
Jake - If you're reading this, then the goddess has sent me back to Washington, DC. I know I probably won't remember this place at all or the people here, but you were a good friend to me, Jake, and I wanted you to know that. Thank you. All the best to you and Neytiri. I hope you get home soon. Of course, things being the way they are sometimes around this place, you might already be home, in which case, this letter doesn't have anyone to go to. You do what you can, right? Miss you. Love, Abby.
Azkedillia - If you're reading this, then the goddess has sent me home. Thanks for hiring me at your bar. I really enjoyed working there and you're a super employer. I hope you find happiness, Azkedillia. Rock on! Love, Abby.
Angela - You've been a super friend and I hope you've gone home by now, because you've been here longer than I have. If you're still here, thanks for being awesome. You're a talented person and a sweetie and deserve the best. Miss you. Love, Abby.
Uncle Sam - If you're reading this, then the goddess has sent me home. Thanks for being a cool friend and 'uncle' and thanks, again, for the awesome bowling ball. I guess it's yours now, if you want it, or maybe you can convince Gibbs to go bowling. If you've already gone home, maybe Tony or Ziva can bowl. Love, Abby.
