This letter was written back when they still lived in the Caribbean and Theo read it in the time after her surgery before her death. 


To the kindest and truest best friend to ever roam this earth,

Theodosia Prevost Burr,

Thank you.

You, dear Theo, have shown me a different side of the world. You lifted me up when I was evidently struggling. Hell, you even babysat for free. For me. What have I done? I'm sure you understand why I died. I've explained it so many times, it's probably drilled into your head. I'm not good enough.

It hurt.

But who knows how much it hurt you. But I'm going to take this time to think back on all the moments I can remember. Sorry if I miss some great points, but this was written during the storm. Hopefully, I didn't live much longer. I don't want to torture you.

I ask that you don't mourn me. In public at least. I know that sounds harsh, but it's for my sons. Assist them in their own journeys. Please. I need them to do well.

And remember: I'll see you on the other side. Hopefully as a better version of myself. Love, take your time.

Love, 

Rachel Hamilton
