Forgiveness

Dear FutureMe, i just finished writing a letter for us in about a year, but felt the need to write this to you. Have you forgiven yourself? You have to know that it wasn't our fault, any of it. When Scooby died, i know you regret not being there with him, not saying good-bye. I do too. Everyday i miss him more and more even tho it has been almost 7 years since he died. Right now I'm hurting and maybe that's why i miss him so much. He was our best friend and he left in the worst time possible. Our parents had just gotten divorced. We moved houses, changed school, had to constantly move from one house to the other. We weren't used to the "divorced life". We were just a child, a little 10 year old baby, and yet we had to fend for ourselves when guys at school would follow us around calling us slurs, or ******** harassing us, because our dad was distant and thought it didn't matter and our mom was too busy trying to get with our stepdad. But even as all that happened we had Scooby, we knew he would never leaves or betray our confidence. But he still left. I want you to know its not our fault. There wasn't anything we could've done. Dad was too busy to take care of him during the summer and he sent Scooby to be with our aunt during the summer. She loved him very much since she was so lonely. Its not her fault he died. I know you miss him, but you have to forgive yourself for letting him go and moving on with your life. I know we'll never get to say good-bye to him. We'll never get those 3 years back, but none of it was our fault. Not the divorce Not the bullying Not the ****** harassment And definitely not his ***** Its okay to move on. Wherever he is, i know hes watching.
