Dear Ced,
Christmas has come, and this year it feels as if the weight of it all is almost too much to bear. We spent the day at St Mungo's with Dad, and finding any trace of Christmas cheer has been difficult.
Percy's absence is keenly felt, more than I care to admit. Even though he and I haven't always seen eye to eye—his ambition and all that—he's still my brother. Mum and Dad are trying their best to carry on, but there's no ignoring the void he's left behind. Mum broke down when Percy sent back her gift without so much as a note. Seeing her like that made my heart sink. It's hard not to feel his absence when all of us are holding on so tightly, trying to keep the family together.
Losing you feels like a constant ache, one that cuts deeper at Christmastime. It's as if the season only sharpens the emptiness. No matter how much I try to find moments of joy, it's like the grief won't let me go.
And with You-Know-Who's shadow hanging over everything, the fear and uncertainty are suffocating. It's as if we're trapped in an endless storm, and I'm just trying to keep my head above water.
Writing to you is the only way I know how to cope, though sometimes it feels like I'm just whispering into the dark. I hope, wherever you are, you've found peace. I hold on to that hope as I try to find my way through these dark days.
Missing you more than I can put into words,
D.W.
P.S. One day, we'll be together again.
