Not going to lie, this was one of the hardest letters to write. So forgive me if it's just a bunch of jumbled thoughts.
I still remember the first time I met you. Splashing and laughing in the water that super hot summer. Sure it was one of Atia's curses, but it was one of the best, because I got to meet you. Who'd have thought something so awesome could happen because of something she did, right? When life gives you lemons, you turn it into the best dang tasting lemonade on the planet, and that's how I feel about our meeting.
You were there for me when I was at some pretty low points. One that comes to mind was my first time being drunk. Thanks for taking me home and putting that bucket next to my bed. That was definitely not the best wake up to have. There is of course the fact that we've seen countless numbers of people sent home, I'd put us in the island veteran category for sure. Both of us have had friends and loved ones from home go back; on top of friends made while here. Heck, even you went home for a time (so maybe I'll be back too).
I don't want to dwell on the negatives though. Life is all about moving forward and growing. It's been a pleasure to see you grow, Hermione. Your confidence level in things besides your brain has been tremendous (not that there's anything wrong with how smart you are). I just didn't like seeing you have such a low opinion on your looks. As I've told you many times, you're a very lovely young lady, bushy hair and all. Besides being smart and beautiful; you're fun, loyal, caring, and one of a kind. I had a blast going around the floor with you at the dances we attended. I hope you keep showing off your stuff and keep improving. And keep on dancing for me, girl!
Moving on. Sorry to just dump Chloe on you. I just couldn't think of anyone better suited to take care of her. Having her around means you'll always have a piece of me with you. She's a swell girl, who likes to play and cuddle. I left you a check to pay for her supplies for at least a few months. Sorry I couldn't give you more.
I'm also sorry to say that I've got to close this letter, as I can't seem to stop crying while writing, and I don't want water spots to smudge anything.
As I named you an honorary Wildcat the first time we met, I have left you a precious keepsake of my high school days. It's a recording of the song Sharpay and I sand during our Junior year musical audition. I hope you play it and find it comforting in a time of need.
Stay strong and keep on being the shining star you are!
All the love from your most excellent bro,
Ryan
