A letter from Apr 10, 2025

Dear Lila, WE GRADUATED!! Or…at least I think we did. I’m writing this in April of 2025 so i wouldn’t know but that’s besides the point: My Lila! I’m pretty sure we met in the 5th grade since I moved a few houses down from you. Ever since I moved to that tiny little brick house, we’ve been best friends. Whether it was walking to and from school or walking to the gas station to get snacks, I literally remember those days like it was yesterday. Through our years of school we have grown closer and closer and even more delusional it seems. I loved raving about gossip girl with you and I absolutely loved ranting about our lives together. Even though we complained a bunch..I knew we always have each others backs. I wanted to say that I am so so proud of you and the women you have become. You are super smart and beautiful and kind and absolutely ******* hilarious. I know that your life can get a little crazy sometimes, whether it’s your mom acting a little crazy or your car randomly not working or even when you have to work all the time, I still think your so strong for handling everything so well (even if we do crash out a little). I’m really gonna miss you Lila. I know we have this summer but in the fall we’ll be off at college. No matter what you decide on majoring in, i know you’ll do great! Knowing me I’ll probably still be ranting to you about my life and you’ll most likely do the same. I hope by now we have become skinny bad ******* but if not that’s ok too, we’ll get there soon enough. I wanna spend as much time with you as I can this summer before I leave. I love you so much, Lila….. — Love Brooklynn Blenman P.S. We will be going to Egypt in the future!
