Your birthday

Every year, you decide on staying in to cuddle. Stay home with me. You never ask for something big like a fancy restaurant or date, you ask for me. Because whenever we do get one of our birthdays together, it's the most valuable time between us.

I started these letters to give to you on your birthday. 24 letters for your 24th birthday.

But then, you got sick.

We weren't even together when you found out.

Cancer sucks.

On other ends of the world was when I discovered, my best friend was dying. And you were alone. So I flew to you at 5 in the morning.

You were so calm but I could hear the fear behind the lump in your throat. I was a wreck on the plane and I still am. But I've canceled the last of my tour so I can spend this time with you.

It started out with 24 letters, this is the 40th.
