A Novel In Letters

A Letter To:Riley

Riley,

Where do I begin? You've been gone for the past couple weeks. You hopefully come home soon. I know why you left. I'm happy that you're getting the best possible care and help. I miss you so much and everyday I wake up and can't help but feel like I have a part in you leaving.

You've become such a big part in my life. You're my best friend,my co- song writer, my drummer,my family. I don't know about you,but I do know that you've changed me. Changed me for the better. I hope that in some way I've changed you too. I hope that when you come back home,you'll be happy and not faking this happiness.

You deserve so much more than what life has given you. I hope you realize that. But you just gotta take what life gives you and go with it. I know that it sucks and that there are times when nothing seems to be going your way but it always ends up being okay. It'll all be okay in the end. If it's not okay,then it's not the end. And believe me I know that sounds super cheesy but it is true.

You have people that love and care about you even if you don't realize it. And while some love you in a way that's different than what you'd like them to,just be thankful that they're in your life. I know that I'm thankful for you and I hope the feeling is mutual.

I hope to see you soon Ry. I can't wait to see you again.

With love,

Lexie
