this. I’m dead which means my happily ever after is dead too. Dead before it even had a full chance of happening. So you know what that means? Stop wasting time because no one knows when theirs is up.
I know you’re stubborn and sometimes I make excuses for it because well, your my little sister but stop being stubborn and chase your happiness. I’m not saying chase Nick, because I’d hate to think of you chasing any man, even Nick. But chase your dreams and what will make you happy. Don’t always hold back because you think people are going to talk about you or that you will be a fool. Sometimes you might be the fool. But do you know what happens after you’re the fool? You’re stronger, you’re wiser, you don’t let yourself be the fool anymore.
I know you, little sister, I know you well. You think all those years ago when Nick left, he made a fool of you. I don’t know all the details of what transpired between the two of you and I think it is better that way. What I do know is from an outsider looking in; there is something there between you. Something that can be really great. I’d like to die knowing you two finally hit it off but something tells me it might take longer than I have. If I could pick anyone in the world to take care of you and love you I’d pick Nick Foti. Hands down. No questions asked. He’s a good guy and if given the chance he’d fall in love with you bigtime. How could he not? (wink, wink)
So do your brother a favor and get it together. I bet the two of you would make some really cute blue eyed kids. (insert eyebrow wiggle) Hey, you know what? I can almost picture us having this conversation. I’d wiggle my eyebrows and you’d slap me upside my head.
Love You,
Your wise Brother Jake. (Go Ahead Laugh)
Dear Ava,
I’m sitting on one of the most uncomfortable chairs on Grandma’s front porch watching you run around outside. I don’t really know what exactly you’re playing but I think its tag with an imaginary friend. Whatever it is you are doing you are putting a big smile on my face. Watching you run around so carefree makes me see the good in the world and beauty of life. That’s big because lately all I do is think the world is this big ugly place and that whatever beauty there is in life turns to ugly.
I never want you to read this letter. This letter is just for me. Just Uncle Jake relishing in the world of Ava. I see your innocence as you run and play and I never want that to be tarnished by me. I love you, kid. I love you more than I thought I could love a little human.
You’re laughing right now and that laugh of yours makes me forget I had to crawl up the stairs because I’m too weak or that it took nearly a half hour. Your laugh is making me want to laugh. It’s making me wish I could hear that laugh for years to come.
I remember when you were first born and how scared I was. There you were this little peanut all wrapped up in pink and you scared the daylights out of me. I don’t get intimidated by people but little humans? Forget about it! I was afraid to hold you because babies like to grab things and I was sure you would wrap your little pudgy fingers around my eyebrow ring and rip it out. Little did I know that you would mostly sleep and when you did start to grab things it would be my hair and not my piercing’s. You always managed to mess with my faux hawk.
You and I found our footing and became fast friends and being your uncle became one of my favorite roles in life. You have to know how much I love you. There aren’t too many people in this world I would wear a tiara for. Actually, there isn’t a soul other than you that I’d do that for.
I wonder what you will look like in a few years. I wonder what kind of little lady you will be. I don’t think you will be a tomboy, you are too much of a princess now. I know you will be beautiful. Oh man, I wish I could see your dad when you start dating. I really hope there is an afterlife
