Not sure what to say?

Sister, I wrote you a line or two on the the 13th just to get my thoughts on print and to clear my heart and head. Well it did help some, I guess that I did not punch the correct button or somethng because I wet to read it today I it is not there. So I will write something else. Just as we would talk all night long when I would stay at your place in the past well that is how I felt the night that I wrote to you, It has been a long long year and it just moved so slow or it was me.
