Jonathan,
Hi again. It's been years since I wrote to you- I turned twenty seven last month.
I'm just using your first name now, because I have a dad, and that's what I've been calling him.
He and Mom had twins about a year after they got married. A boy and a girl named Mitchell and Danica. They're eleven years old and two of the best things to happen to my family.
You're not my real family, Jonathan, you never were. It took me years to realize that, but now that I have, I'm finally happy with myself. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can actually breathe.
-Sincerely, Anthony
