dear callah,
i'm sitting here.
not knowing how to write what i'm feeling.
i know i'm not some fancy writer who's writing makes people cry.
but i do want to make this letter special.
one that you will remember.

i think you're beautiful.
outside and inside.

you make me smile.
you bring joy to my life.

i remember when we were little you and i would sit in the back seats of our Dad's squeaky old green truck with the window open. holding our stuffed doggies-cookie and princess-tight so they wouldn't fly out the window, out of our reach.
Dad in the driver's seat smiling as we played with the stuffed dogs.
"I wonder if that person behind us thinks our doggies are real," i said.
"yeah,  he might think it's a bad idea to have our dogs hanging out the window," you said. we laughed.

i remember once when you got me laughing so hard i peed in my pants.

i remember us crying on your bed together.

i remember.
and always will.

i love you.
and always will.
