What a beautiful face, I have found in this place

A fallen hero.

How do we know each other?
Dear Fernando,
Yesterday was amazing. We sailed the seas and stole rays from the sun. The wind rushed over our bodies and took with it all of our frustrations. This one day will be my remedy this year. I wait 364 days for this 1 a year. When we were kids we would play football behind your house. The other kids called me a Tom-Boy, but it didn't matter to me as long as you approved of me. I can still remember your dreams of becoming a race car driver and driving "a billion miles an hour." You wore a white t-shirt with a hole under your left arm and I wore that horrible brown sweatshirt. I confess that at the age of 10 I had dreams of marrying you. Now, I must hide the pain of not being married to you through drinking. I sometimes laugh myself to sleep, but other times I cry myself to sleep. I wonder how much can I really take. Oh Fernando, I have always seen a special light shining from your eyes. I'm sorry if this letter will make you feel awkward, but my true feelings must be known.


Love Sigourney

p.s. i beg of you to find time to write me back. Please Fernando.

A letter I received from K.B.:

"What a nice looking group of young men! I had never seen your other brother before now.

I am so glad you are going to be a teacher! It sounds silly, but I was telling my husband about you and I told him how it is always teachers that influence kids and students are always coming back to say hi to past teachers. I told him there was one student, (you!), who touched my life. I told him that no matter what was going on in the classroom, you always made me smile! Your students-to-be are going to be so lucky to have you as there teacher. You should come and teach at South! Where are you planning to settle down? Any ideas! AHHHHH, the thought of being single and being able to go anywhere at anytime - savor the moments! I am glad you will be able to travel. Where do you want to go?

I am sorry to hear about your girlfriend. Break ups are so hard, you actually may want to be in physical pain then the pain you feel emotionally - I know, trust me. I am glad things are going better now and you are happy! It's funny how you think that ONE person is the one, and then you meet someone else and life all falls in place. Enjoy your time to yourself now though, it will be well worth it. Your ex is one crazy gal!!!

Looking forward to seeing you in August! Keep in touch!"

My family grows by the day and while I feel the love of so many people, it pushes away my time for people who have always been there for me. I must do anything I can do to keep my relationship strong with my biological family.
