i hope that u r well n safe. i think about u often, but not as often as i should. this school year that is coming up i’m scard 2 death of it. i wish so much that u could be here 2 yell @ me 2 get my homework done or even the dishes. there’s just so much that i still want 2 do with u n i know that as i do them that u’ll be right there by my side helpping me in ur own way.

please say hello 2 libby 4 me n send her my dearest love. please give her a kiss n a big hug 2 her from me, tell her that i miss her very much n that i hope 2 c her one of these times in my dreams.

i’m not going 2 lie 2 u daddy, but i really do hate this part in all of my letters that i’ve written 2 u so far. i hate saying good-bye 2 u b/c i know that it won’t be bood-bye forever but just 4 a very long time. i know that ur telling me 2 wipe my tears away n 2 be strong b/c u’ll always be right here in my heart n that if i ever need 2 talk about anything that u’ll listen 2 me any time.

i really do have 2 go b/c i’m really starting 2 cry over all of this, but i’ll try 2 write u in a few days or at least within this next month. i’ll talk 2 u soon n i love u a lot. ttyl!

a lot of love from ur little farm girl,

jr.

p.s. i will always remember the good n bad times that we both shared in the past, i can only hope that u will always remember them 2.
