How is the new year going? It’s almost your birthday! What do you want? Will you be having a party? It must be somewhat difficult to have a birthday so close to Christmas. I never considered that before, alas. I hope you still get a sufficient amount of presents befitting both occasions!
I wish I could give you an actual present. Especially since I have learned to gift-wrap. I wish everyday that you were not being held. I will make you a portrait — it will not be contemporary, but it will be something. I will write on your birthday.
I know you do not want to talk to me, that I am likely to your mind unsafe. But I do know that you wanted to see the Flickr (thanks to your friend ‘yee hee’, now ‘dipper’ on Pinterest). Perhaps you could try talking to another Share family member who doesn’t associate with us much, or someone who feels generally safe, like Laura. Speaking of, Mom removed a few photos of us as babies off of Flickr because they were getting a suspicious number of views (I had her do this once before). Sorry about that, it’s very creepy.
The first song I associated with your kidnapping was ‘It’s Been So Long’ by The Living Tombstone, in September of 2016. I still listen to it sometimes. I ought to make a playlist. I miss you everyday, and will always love you. I wish for nothing but your happiness, and hope you enjoy your birthday. Do you still have parties at Cowfish? Those were so much fun.
With love,
Alice
