Hi dad. It's me, Carly. I'm in 7th grade now. My teachers are kind of annoying haha but it's okay. I'm doing really good in school. Math is getting easy for me! Reading is still hard but I'm working on getting better. Ryan is good. He misses you a lot. We have a dog named Molly. She is the best dog you would love her. Mom is good but I don't think she is happy. It's been 10 years and I don't believe it. I really need you, daddy. But god chose to take you. It should have been me. You didn't deserve your life to end so early. I know you would have been my best friend. I just wish I had my dad, you know? I need someone to talk to about my crazy friend drama and my worries. I have not had that much anxiety lately which is so good! I know your proud of me. I've never thought of writing you a message but I felt like I should. How's Grandpa? And GiGi and of course Nancy. I miss them all too. I have so many great friends who are always there for me. Do you miss me? I miss you so much. Not having you here sucks a lot. I feel bad, I'm really rude to my mom sometimes. But I love her so much. She is my best friend. She does everything for me. Would you be mad at her if she started dating? She would never replace you, you were her soulmate, she told me. I just want her to be happy. She does everything alone so I help her a lot around the house. I don't like to talk about you. It makes me too sad. It makes me want to just run into my room. I wish I could fly up to heaven just to hug you, kiss you, and tell you I love you because I do. I want to see you again, but I can't. Not for some years to come. But when I do see you again it will be the best day of my life. Please keep watching over me and my whole family. I know you will, I just wanted to remind you. I love you so much and miss you more each day. I'll talk to you later.
