A letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts.
Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message.
There is an element of timelessness about letter writing.

"Here you go Kit-Kat." Sophia says as she passes me the line-up for my final game of my career which is going to be against Belgium
Today, October 11, 2035, is my retirement game.
"Thanks Soph." I say as I look at tonight's line-up.
1-Katana Solo(C) 2-Nayeli Hester 4-Naomi Girma 5-Rayna Baker 3-Isobel Booth 6-Jaelin Howell 22-Amelia Patel 18-Amirah Warner 9-Sophia Smith 14-Talia Martin 7-Freya Fraser
The west coast ladies, Tierna, Catarina, Ashley, and Trinity retired during last camp.
My retirement game is today then Jaelin and Sophia will play their retirement game on Tuesday at Rocky Mountain Stadium
In the November friendly window, Talia will be the last of our group to retire.
After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I look at my doggies.
"You ready for one last game?" I ask as I look at my PTSD service dog Yeti.

Yeti, my Samoyed, yips then she licks my face so I look at my seizure service dog.

"What about you Onyx?" I ask.
Onyx yips and jumps up towards me causing me to chuckle then I cuddle my doggies.
Appa and Socks passed away together in January of last year in their sleep after living long happy lives.
I'm happy they we're together when they passed.
Once I realized Appa and Socks we're on the decline, I knew I'd need a PTSD service dog so I started looking into getting a new one which is how Yeti came into my life.
I think I'll always need a PTSD service dog after being in a warzone.
I was doing good with my seizures in the last year before Appa passed so I thought I could get by with just my seizure meds, but in October of 2034 my seizures got really bad so I started the process of getting another service dog for my seizures and in April of this year I got Onyx.
