Extra: Matthews Letter to Hanna

It's been almost a week since Matty's funeral. I haven't left my room once. I stand up and make my way over to my desk and find a letter addressed to me form my brother. I open it and begin reading.

Dear Hanna,

By the time your reading this I will already be gone. I didn't have the heart to call you and tell you my time was running out quicker than we all expected.

You have been an amazing sister all these years. I wouldn't have asked for a better one. You've always been so understanding and kind and I hope you'll find the guy to see that in you.

I honestly hope it's the Luke fellow I've heard you talking to Allie and mom about. He sounds like a great guy. I hope he treats my baby sister the right way. If not I'll come back and haunt him.

I'm sorry that I'm not going to be there to see you get your diploma, I'm sorry I won't get to make a speech at your wedding. Most of all I'm sorry for not being the brother I could've been.

I didn't tell you "I love you" enough or how much you really meant to me. I'm sorry for shutting you out through my teenage years. Now I understand all you ever wanted to do was be with me. I shouldn't have shut you out. We would've gotten to spend more time together as siblings and enjoy each other's company.

I also don't want you to cry or mourn over me. God came and took me for a reason. One day he will come back for you. But I know for sure your going to have an amazing life ahead of you. You'll get live what I didn't. Which I'm very happy about, if I couldn't do it I'm happy you can.

I will be there every step of the way. Not physically but spiritually. I'll be there to guide you. I'll be there to talk, even though I can't respond. I'll always be listening.

Be happy. Go out there and be a teenager or young adult, whatever you wanna call it. But have fun. Live a life without regrets. I'm telling you right now. If you had fun doing it, don't regret it later on.

I hope you marry the Luke boy. I wish I were there to meet him and give him the big brother talk. But I trust him enough not to hurt my baby sister.

Hanna, I really do love you. I never want you to forget that. I'm always gonna be there watching and guiding you through everything.

Love, Matty

I crumpled the letter and continued to sob quietly. He's gone. I never told him how much I loved him. I feel terrible.

There's only one thing I want right now other than my brother. And that's Luke.
