Focus on your path by helping children to succeed. You were always good at helping children. I know that you're still not a people person. You've been like that for years, but you will be collaborating with families of special needs stud...

A letter from May 16th, 2018

Dear FutureMe, I am sure you have picked yourself up by now. More so, I am sure that others have helped pick you up by now. Nobody dislikes you, they just didn't know that you needed to be helped. Sadly, as a culture, we don't communicate well with one another anymore. It is not personal. You have taken it personally but it was never meant that way. And, the truth is that you have been tr...

Dear FutureMe, At this very moment in my life I am newly 27 years old and living through a pandemic. We are on "lockdown" and it means we have to stay home and it's been difficult to keep the mind afloat. I actually did catch the virus, COVID-19, and it was rough.

A letter from May 13th, 2018

Dear Ronny, Yesterday was our senior prom. There was a face in the crowd that I never got to see and it was yours. Decorations in our high school meant that all of the cases with trophies and pictures were covered up. They covered up your picture on the one night I needed it most. I know I say this too much, but not a day goes by that I don't think about you and the things that you have miss...

A letter from May 11th, 2011

Dear Emily, By the time you read this 10 years will have passed. Ten years, hopefully full of memories, new experiences, laughs and tears, ten years full of life. I can only imagine where I am, and what I've done in those ten years, and I hope I have lived up to most of them. Please use this email to look back on these past ten years, to take a moment to remember everything and soak it all in....
