How are you? I hope that Ashby, Daphne, Grant, and Daniel are all fine as well. Things are going well for me at school. They've hired a psychologist, there's been so many things going on here. So many deaths--I wish I could talk to you all about it, get this fear out of my system. There's been some silly drama too. Lily started dating a boy and it made everyone go crazy for a day. So strange.
I'll be at Lily's for Christmas, and I'll write to you from there, too. I just wish I had a sign that you even read these. Her parents are so nice to me, and she told me earlier today that her sister might be getting engaged! I pray for your safety and the rest of the family's safety every night. Please, please, please let me know you're okay?
...I was thinking of going back and visiting. I know you probably wouldn't want me to but maybe seeing me will help you...come to terms? Anyway, I'll keep writing these every month. It's tradition now, and like you say Mum, traditions are the glue that keeps us together, right? Hope you're doing alright.
