A letter from Jul 26, 2022

Dear Cas, how's everything? Did you publish the books you were working on? I hope you're parents divorce/separation hasn't affected you as much as now. You're 21 now or well almost. I'm proud of you, on 7-23-22 you almost cried on accouple of occasions, If you need to hear this today I think you should. Everything's going to be okay. I 17 almost 18 year old Cas want you to know that everything's going to be okay. If you never get this, that's fine. I just hope you're alright and doing well. Happy Birthday. Remember those times you snuck out the house to meet Nick, those 4 hour long phone calls with Karen, or all those 200+ pictures of junior year. You're not in High school anymore, but I hope you've maintained good friendships. Do you get along with mom? Or not? Are you still in contact with dad? I know how much you would miss him if he left. I want you to be happy. I hope you're in nursing. You really wanted to do that. How's Nataly did you end up moving in with her? If you did, that's good. I wouldn't want you staying in that home hotel, like I am. It doesn't feel like home. If you committed suicide. You wouldn't be reading this, I hope you're in peace. After all, I am you and I want to be happy.
