hey de.
it was good seeing you & grandma today. i'm sorry i couldn't stay to celebrate your actual birthday, ya know i would have if i could, but i have things back at school that need to be done. i hope you know i still think about you and honestly, i've said it a million times but i'll keep saying it, things just haven't been the same without you. i went to florin elementary today and all i could think of was how i would give anything for all of us [you, me, and him] to be young again and relive all the great memories.

well, i love you and i hope you have a wonderful 20th birthday babes! keep smiling down on all of us.

love you!
