Dear Gilbert,

At the moment, I don't know why I'm taking the time to write a letter to someone who's been dead for six months.

What I do know is that I'm in the middle of junior year, and I've never felt so alone.

I miss you. I think that is the biggest reason I'm writing this. Although, I'm not sure how this is going to reach you. Maybe it won't, but Dad told me that writing down exactly what's going on in my head might help me get through it better.

Six months have passed, Gilbert. And I still don't know what to do with you gone.

What else is there to say?

Yours,

Matthew
