to whit...

"dear little whit...
although i know you are right by saying that i have a lot of things going for me, being busy and such, i know in my heart, i will be at a stand still awaiting your return. yes, i will be full of daily jobs and activities and quests and my life will be seemingly full over the summer...but honestly i will miss you so much, because whit, let me tell you...you are the apple pie filling in my empty crust. i love you and know you will have the time of your life."
-marta dansie (given to me right before i left for europe 2004)

Remember when you would be excited to pass notes in school, get them from a friend after class, receive a surprise card in the mail. I have been obsessed with writing notes my whole life. How amazing a blank sheet of paper could make someone's day. Expressing yourself through words and holding on to those memories. My cousin and I are devoted at writing letters and I can't thank her enough for always cheering me up on a snowy rainy day.

I've always loved getting your letters. They're the best. Letter writing is a special art. It is always good to get a handwritten letter.
