for my Emily

Dear Sister,

You are too far away. I feel like becoming a fairy today, but I need you to help me remember how. When I come in September we will have sleepovers every night. We will read books about princesses and have super-hero photo-shoots. I can't believe you're going to be 9 soon. I'm sorry I've missed most of the last 3 years. Being grown-up stinks. I miss you.

I also miss when these pants fit, back in April. But I miss you more.

I can't wait.

See you soon.

Love,

Megs
