Dear Dallas

Dear Dallas,

I miss you like I've never missed anyone. I keep writing letters, but you keep ignoring them. I know I've taken a while to respond in the past, but never like this before.

I just hope you're alright. I've called, but no ones picking up the phone at the Curtis'.

How's Sylvia? And the baby? Man, I need an update. I'm worried about them. Are they both okay?

I got a letter from Steve today. It says he moved away. I'm sorry. I know you two were close. He's just mourning though. He's strong. He'll get through it.

How're Darry and Pony holding up? I know that Pones away, but maybe you've heard from him?

Johnny said that Keith started drinking again. I know that makes you sad. It makes me sad, but I know that he can handle it.

I guess we just feel like we lost our hearts. Maybe if we all get together we can restart.

This is my first Christmas in years without Mark. It's hard. I try to be strong.

Even my baby knows what's wrong. I can hear him cry himself to sleep at night. It reminds me of when you would cry on my shoulder after a fight.

Please respond to me if you can. I just want to know that you're not dead yet.

-Rose
