Letter 21
Dear 9gagger,
Hello again. It's been awhile isn't it?
I'm still doing great. I'm trying to be as fit as a fiddle, but it seems that I can't. I've been playing some Portal lately, and Left for Dead 2. It helps me cope. but I've been having some bad dreams. I blame the Zombies.
I just want to tell you what happened today. We went to a wedding. It was my cousin's, we came just in time. I was in tears throughout the ceremony. For one, I saw my mom, who used to have Daddy, crying and remembering the happy times when he used to be there, and then there's me, thinking about the future, about me.
Can I get married? I'm too young to ask such, but it doesn't hurt to ask every now and then. Every girl has dreamed of getting married once.
In my case, I dream of getting married to a lovely man (a bit older than me, if you want me to be honest) in one of the prettiest churches in the area. And as I walk down the isle, my Mother and Father are hooked to each of my arms, everyone stares and sees how pretty I am, how beautiful I look, and for once I can be vain, awfully vain about myself.
And Once I come around the end of that red carpet, I see him, that lovely man, his eyes glazed at me underneath that veil, as he takes me away from my parents, he mouths the words 'You look beautiful' and the ceremony begins.
These thoughts raced through my head during that whole wedding procession. It must sound very stupid, I know, but I can't help it. It must really be a girl thing to think of such.
But I know, at least right now, that this dream of mine won't be real. Daddy's gone forever, and how can I find someone to love me like I want them to? It's hard, especially since I've hurt too many people. Including you. I've never lost touch with reality. That's one thing.
Have I ever told you that I once thought of spending my whole life with you? I know That's not going to happen. Not now. Not ever.
I want to say more, but this letter is getting long, I'm sorry.
Until next time, -MSAPS
