Dear Sami

Dear Sami~Letter 2

Dear Sami,

Tonight was prom... The night we spent ages talking about since we where little. I didn't end up going, I came to the hospital and brought the dresses we planned on wearing. Sami, you would have looked beautiful in your turquoise dress, the same colour as your sparkling eyes. But now I couldn't even see your eyes. I hung the dresses up next to your bed. You deserved to go to prom but because of the idiocy of human you couldn't. You couldn't have your one perfect night to be the princess in that beautiful dress before the clock struck twelve and then we would return to reality, or school. Our favourite childhood fairy tale was Cinderella. I remember every Halloween we would dress up. I was the handsome Prince Charming and you were the beautiful Princess. I found an old scrapbook of photos of us as young kids. We were attached by the hip and still are... I put the scrapbook beside you on the small table beside your hospital bed.I have in my room a box of some things your parents give me to look after. So I hope you don't mind, I'm looking after your Bella for you, the teddy I gave you for your for your fourth birthday. Every night I clutch on the teddy bear and cry myself to sleep. That fatal day you walked home from school, only 10 days away from your sweet 16 and that one thing that made you not even able to celebrate your own birthday. That drunken driver that hit you and nearly took your life and took your future away from you. The one thing that you have the right to do is to live and that was taken away. The doctors said if you did wake up you'd be paralysed for the rest of your life. I should have walked home with you that day. I wish I had been hit instead of you.

Keep fighting Sami, for you, for everyone, for me.

Love, Savannah
