Dear Kosta,
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told you to come out to your parents.
I should have done something when Tanner attacked you.
I should have been there for you when that all happened, but instead I hid.
I'm sorry.
I love you.

Dear Dad,
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Thank you for sitting beside my bed until I fell asleep when I was 6 because I was afraid of the dark.
Thank you for telling me everything was going to be okay when mom left.
Thank you for taking me to get a haircut and to buy new clothes when I came out as trans.
Thank you for being so welcoming when you found out about me and Kosta.
Thank you for all of it. 
I love you.
-Robbie

Dear mom,
Fuck you.
Fuck you for leaving.
Fuck you for making dad raise me all alone.
Fuck you for making me grow up without you. 
Fuck you.
- Your SON Robbie

Dear Elliot,
I'm sorry I bothered you for so long. I know that you only hang out with me out of pity because I have no other friends. Don't be sad because of what I did, go make a new friend, someone that you actually want to spend time with.
- Robbie

Dear Tanner,
Please leave Kosta alone. Take what I've done today as a reminder that your actions have consequences.

Dear Danny,
Thanks for setting up those batshit crazy meetings every Friday. Those meetings are the reason I was with Kosta, and that was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Sadly all good things must come to an end, but at least you helped me make it happen.
-Robbie

Dear Mrs and Mr McNiel,
Please let Kosta come home. He needs you. He needs his brother. He needs his family back.
