dear caitlyn,
you’re graduating today! i am sending you love love love. i am sorry that i am not there, but please know that i am there in spirit. you’ll understand (maybe more than most) just what i am doing instead: i had tech yesterday for a new dance piece of mine and we open today at 3p. i’ll make sure to stop and think of you when i’m in the dressing room, dear one.
i’m proud of you. you have worked hard. and played hard. and shone. and you have a lot more shining to do. in all kinds of ways.
i look forward to the time i see you again and can hug you and smile into your eyes and say i love you!!! so you can hear it and feel it to your bones. because i do.
all my love,
your aunt christine
I still don't believe it, but these letters and good wishes make me happy that it's happening.
