I honestly don’t know when you’ll read this, but it’s now Tuesday, February 20. I was just cleaning out my room, and I found my little “memory box”. It’s where I put all the letters I got since the time I was in Maryland. There were three long ones from you. I read through all of them for, gee, maybe the hundredth time, (I do this alot), and I got this urge. I was going to write you a letter, but it’s hard to color a letter. So I made this. I might have just sent an animated card, but I wanted to make you something myself. I know I’m not as good as you are at writing long, emotional letters, but here is the actual letter:

Andie, I just wanted to let you know how special you are to me, and how thankful I am to have you. Sometimes, I wonder why God chose to let me be one of your close friends. You know how we’re all supposed to have guardian angels? Well, do all angels have to have wings? I guess not, because you don’t. Do all angels have to wear these long, glowing robes? I guess not, because you don’t. (Unless it got soaked in some radioactive stuff.) But, are all angels absolutely beautiful, inside and out? I know you are. I guess the whole point of this letter is just to say how much you mean to me, and how important you are in my life. I wish you could see what I see. You are a wonderful person Andrea. I want you to know that. And I want you to know that I love you, and I will always be here. I will try to be as good a friend to you as you have been to me. Remember that.

I love you,

~Tori
