Uncle Wayne there is just so. So much left unsaid that I could just pour out at midnight but um.
I?
I should've been home more. Would disappear late in the evenings to some godawful places outside of Hawkins. Drag in down on their luck nerds to crash on our couch at night. My friends and I would be loud when we WERE there. I just... I never got to say "I love you" before I was gone.
I didn't run away yeah? I was really, really brave. And thats amazing. But it just hurts. I just wish I could get one last hug, yknow? I love you... I love the one shred of my family that wanted to keep me. That scooped me up and saved me from my shitty dad.
I still remember that night yeah? I was probably not even 10, the way you came into the damn police station and picked me up, promising that things would be better without Alan. And you were right they were. They always were. That man never did ANYTHING for me. But you did.
I know. I was 20. Overgrown, not a kid anymore.
But I was still your boy. And I just want you to hold me... Hug me and tell me you're proud.
It's all I want some nights.
I love you uncle Wayne... You're the best damn thing that happened to our family. Thank you.
