Dear Kathy,
I was a bit hesitant on this writing you this because I'm not sure what I should say to you. Actually, I wasn't sure if it was right to say the things that I want to, but it's your birthday so you should at least know that I haven't forgotten. I'm not even sure if you're going to see this.
At the least, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. You're finally 21 now, and even though I'm not sure how you're doing I wish for the best. Time passes by so fast. When we first met, we had barely graduated from high school. Now you're 21. We've both grown up quite a bit during this time and it still gets me every time I think about it. Around this time last year, I remember how I was on the phone getting screamed at and lectured by your mom when I tried to get you down here just for a few days to celebrate your birthday. We tried to pull the Disneyland thing, but it didn't turn out so well. I ended up on the phone for about an hour talking about the most unreasonable situation ever. Within a year's time so much has happened. So much has changed. We barely know each other anymore, but the time we spent together just seemed like a figment of my imagination that ran wild through the months that past by; A daydream that was so close to reality that when I finally woke up I was a different person. For that, I just wanted to thank you for helping me through the times when I was at my lowest. For all the times that I couldn't hold myself up and you were there to help me bare the weight on my shoulders so that I didn't have to walk through life alone; and because of that I sincerely want to apologize for everything that you had to endure because of me. I never wanted that to happen and it wasn't something that I wanted anyone to experience. I truly am sorry for everything. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you like how you were there for me. How I couldn't be there for you when I wish I could have been. I'm sorry I couldn't be the person that I longed to be, for you. And I hope you know I really do mean it when I say thank you for being there for me, for caring for me when I didn't even care for myself. Our lives have crossed paths and I guess I strayed too far off my own, and now as I trace my footsteps it's difficult to see things behind me.
But I hope you're happy. I hope that you've found someone that is everything I could have been but wasn't. I hope because that's all I can do for you. And today, I hope that you have a great birthday. I hope all your dreams come true. I hope you get to where you want to be, you deserve nothing less. And I really hope you watch yourself, being it your 21st birthday, I hope you don't get wasted. I know how much of a lightweight you are. But do enjoy yourself. It's your special day.
Happy birthday Kathy, I miss you.
