dear malia,

it has been months since i've last seen you. and it's been even more months since i've last written to you.
my mother is in the hospital. she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer about two months ago. dad and josh are constantly at the hospital, staying all day and overnight. i'm always alone. i can't bare to see my mom so lifeless, hooked up to multiple machines. it's too painful.
but being alone hurts even more.
parker is on a trip somewhere in portland with his dad and he makes sure to check on me (more than he needs to, to be honest, but i'm not complaining). i feel thankful to have someone like him but it's not the same when he's not actually here.
it's not the same without you, malia. nothing is. everything has turned upside down for me. seeing your face is all i want.
i miss you so terribly. i miss my mom, and i miss josh and my dad. and i miss parker and kayla.
i'm in so much pain. i'm terrified of being alone. i can't trust myself. i don't want to be here anymore.
i love you malia, and i'm so sorry.
but this is the end. everything hurts so much.

truly,
hannah
