[Dear You. . .]

[Scooter's Mom]

Dear brother,
We've always been really close. Now you won't reply to my emails, texts or facebook messages. I wish I knew what I did. I know your wife dislikes me (immensely!) but we had agreed that OUR relationship would withstand.

If only you'd talk to me. I miss you. I miss talking to my three beautiful nieces. Please, come around. With my health and facing this surgery, I need you.

Gosh Crystal - it makes me so sad to read this. Life is so short, and we never know when ours or that of our family will come to an end.
I lost contact with both of my brothers for about 20 years. Oh - there were the birthday and Christmas cards, an occasional phone call, and then when the age of home computers came to be, there were emails. But I never saw them. I live in DE and they lived in FL. Both of them were always after me to go down to visit, but there were always the lame excuses on my part - my job, raising my own family, I couldn't afford it, health issues, etc, etc - always something. I finally did get there tho - to the funeral of one of them who passed from complications of a stroke. To this day - I still look back and dislike myself for being so selfish all those years. I wish I could turn back the clock and do things differently. He passed 5 years ago, and I vowed that it wouldn't happen that way with my surviving brother. Since then, I visited with him in FL several times, and then last Fall after he moved to NC. I'm planning another visit soon - hopefully within the next couple of months. Earlier this week he had a medical crisis that could have taken him also, and I was devastated at the thought! He's 74 and I'm 65 (almost ),, and we are the only ones left of the "old" family. Obviously, neither one of us will be around a long time, so I am taking every opportunity to spend some time with him. We talk by phone or email at least a couple of times a week, and I make the time for visits now! I can't change what happened in the past, but I can make sure history doesn't repeat itself. LES!
I hope your brother comes around soon - I know how distraught that you must be. Maybe you could email him a copy of this post???? Maybe he might realize how precious family is...
You're in my thoughts....

Dear Weight:
I'm working hard to get rid of you. How about a little help here? Pack your "bags" and go.

Dear Cancer:
It's time for you to go now too. You've been comfortable for way too long. The tribe has spoken. Your flame has died out.

dear boy,

Thank You for leaving. Although I miss you, your leaving brought me together, brought her and I together. We've became good friends. I'd say best friends, but I only have one best friend, you know. We're all just better off. Everything's pretty clear now. I hope you find whatever it is you need and if you come back, that's okay. Bros4lyfe.


love,
me

Dear World,
You know the song lyric "the world for once in perfect harmony"? Why can't it be like that for me, for once. I know life can't always be about great but there's something I've been missing out on alot lately. Why do people have to be such jerks? Why am I the only one who sees all these two-faced people?



PS - Alot of things in my life are going fantastic, actually most of it, but I'm just sick of....people. I'm just missing something I have yet to find.

Dear you,

I really, really don't like you!

I tried my best for once in your lesson today, as did my group, and you KNOW we don't like sport, but yet we WON for ONCE in our lives, because we worked hard! For crying out loud, stop acting like its the most shocking thing in the world!!! It was bad enough the whole class accused us of cheating because we are the 'nerds' and we are not meant to like sport, but YOU! You're the bl**dy teacher! Don't look so suprised!

And you can stop telling me off for every little thing as well. I already know you hate me, you do not need to proove your point. I mean, I look around for one second when you are explaining something to 2 members of my group about discus throwing and also I was checking no-one on my team was running at the time, and you tell ME off for not paying attention. HUH? I am not even doing the discus!!

Plus whats with calling my friend and I twins the other day!?! I would like you to know that the group was split up, like you said, and she was the only one on my half of the group who was my friend. So yes, I obviously was going to stand next to her! Plus she is one of my best friends- but for goodness sake that does not mean we are 'velcro twins' or whatever you called us. WE HAVE NAMES! We deserved to be called by them, thanks.

And telling us off for running together in the long jump?!? Everyone else was!! But of course you don't tell them off. Maybe I wouldnt of felt the need to run with her if you werent watching me like a hawk. I don't like being watched thanks, it puts me off and makes me feel uncomfortable.

For goodness sake, you are meant to motivate us and help us learn, but how can we do that when you are doubting everything we do? We did not cheat. We did not add anything up wrong. We WON fairly thanks. I dont care about winning, I only care that I tried my best, as did the rest of my team, and no, we dont get a clap or praise, we get QUESTIONED and ACCUSED by the class. You didn't even give us a chance to hand our score sheet in before we left so we could proove to you, but I doubt you would of believed it anyway. And I bet if the second place group handed you their form, in which I know they wrote that we cheated all over, you will say nothing. Thats what you teachers ALWAYS DO!

Now, you can leave me alone. Your little 'popular' members of the class that can't believe the nerds beat them can leave me alone as well. I am fed up of YOU and THEM and ARGH!

Remind me not to try next time.
