How are you doing? Aaron is playing the second The Hobbit movie right now on TV, and I’m not quite sure what’s going on. I watched the first two Lord of the Ring movies, but not this.
I haven’t done much besides schoolwork this week. I sat outside for awhile and got sunburned. It turns out that in proper daylight I’m as pale as a snowman. Have you had much opportunity to go outside? At the very least, you can go to the back and front yards to get some sunlight. It’s very rejuvenating, if a little bit painful once you get burned.
I’m tired of looking at old pictures of you. I feel like you aren’t real anymore. Not dead so much as vanished, like a child from an unsolved kidnapping case who was never seen again. Just conspicuously empty spots where someone should be, but there’s nothing there. You’re not supposed to think of someone close to you as such a stagnant figure for so long. They should change over time as humans do naturally. It’s almost depersonalizing — I don’t know you as much as the nine year old you I lost so many years ago. She isn’t you anymore. But I don’t know who you are.
I hope you’re doing alright. Enjoy what you enjoy, whatever that may be.
With love,
Alice
