My letter to my friend Rose

12/2/07
Dear Rose,
I know you are older than I am, as you have children and I am still in high school, so maybe you will not be able to hear what I am saying or value my opinion. However, I feel the need to contact you.
You are special because every human being has good in them. I see the good in you especially your willingness to protect your children. You did this when you saved your dauthers from the fire. Your natural instinct is to protect them from your husband. You married him thinking he was a good man which he was and then something happens to people when they have children. This was not your fault. Yes, you are responsible for your children and from what I see, you are a good, caring mother. Sometimes, even in my life, things get confusing, friendships change, parental relationships shift, it becomes difficult to balance school work and my other work, and even I feel in certain circumstances like a failure. I have people around me that love me and do not allow me to feel these negatives thoughts for too long. I want to be that person for you.
Remember the good that you do. Do not hold on to the bad stuff for long. And also remember that everyday is a new day and can be a new beginning with a new way of looking at yourself and your life. Take real small steps. I will be there for you to talk to whenevery you want.
Your friend,
Sloane
