Heaven: Don't be a Dumbass

Dear Anna,

I love you. A friendship like this would take billions of years to fade away or explode. In a cliche metaphor, our friendship is like the sun, and we'll be long dead before we ever see it burn out.

In other words:

Don't be a dumbass.

You're going to have a great time with your sister and you're nieces, and you're doing your FAMILY and yourself a favor by staying with them and your momma this summer and this winter. You need time with them, and we understand.

But just because we understand doesn't mean we're moving on. Sure, we're all growing and meeting new people and learning more about ourselves, you know, but you are too, and just because you don't feel for anybody in Portland the same way you do for us valley kids doesn't mean you should limit yourself. I have a feeling your getting the hang of things more these days.

If you jumped off a bridge, I'd jump off a bridge just because I don't know much about physics and I have a feeling I could catch up to you. I hope I could make it before you did anything that completely retarded, though.

I always feel bad every time I use the word retarded.

But, yes. Hang in there, sister. You're doing great.

I love you.

I'm pretty sure that I can honestly speak for everyone here too:

We love you. You're fucking rad.

-Everyone
