An email I just wrote:
I don't know when you'll read this. Probably when you're already here, but that's okay. Being alone so much has really given me a lot of time to think... about a lot of different things. Most of the time I'm better at writing things down than actually saying them, so I hope you don't mind.
First of all, I just wanted to tell you that you make me very happy. I love being around you, even if all it means is that we'll sit around watching the same "Friends" disk we've seen a hundred times... or me laying around watching tv while you play video games. Just having you here is enough. The days that I know I'm going to see you are always the best days.
Second, I hate when you're unhappy. I know there are a lot of things going on right now that are out of your control... and that not much can be done to fix anything; but please... if there is ever anything that I can do, tell me and I will do it.
Lastly, I want you to know how much I admire you. You've been through more things in your 20 years than most people have to experience in a lifetime. Everytime I think about it, I'm amazed at how genuine and strong you've stayed through all of it. A lesser person would have been buried alive by the burden.
That's all I have. I don't know what's been going on with me lately... stupid girl hormones I guess =) I hope none of this came off as over-emotional or sappy. It wasn't meant to be in slightest.
I love you.
Sarah
