Hey there love,
First things first; I love you. Don't forget that.
It's funny the way we met wasn't it? I was sitting in the back of the classroom minding my own business, when you walked up to me with that bright – not to mention beautiful – smile of yours, and said 'hi' to me. I gave you the cold shoulder at first, but loosened up when I got to know you. You were sweet, gentle, and caring. I loved that about you. But what I loved most about you was how you thought about anybody before yourself.
You told me that other people mattered before yourself, and that we should think about how we would survive if we were like the people in Africa. I loved how, every Christmas, we would go out to one of those charity things and give out presents to little kids who can't afford it. Everyone loved how you would just be out there and give whatever you have to other people, even if it's your last donut. And I know how much you love donuts.
But the whole reason I am writing this is because I want you to know, that even though I am not with you right now, does not mean that you mean any less to me. I may not be physically there, but in your heart, I always will be. I hated that I knew, one day, I was going to be gone. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind, up until that night when I collapsed. I knew the end was coming; I just didn't want to admit it. I was scared of the thought of not being able to snuggle with you and Alex. I was also scared of the thought that I wouldn't be able to spend the rest of his life with him; in fact I was afraid or dying completely.
But this sickness has taken over me, and now I am getting tired just writing this. Take care, Mitchie. I love so much, honey. Tell Alex I love him too. 2 years of marriage could never be better, and I don't regret one part of it.
Loving you always,
Shane.

Mitchie clutched the letter closer to her chest, salty tears flowing rapidly down her cheeks. She ran a shaky hand through her hair, her heart still broken. Everyone that says they understand her just gets on her nerves because NOBODY knows how she feels. When she feels a presence, she turns her head to her door and saw Alex standing there. Mitchie opened her arms towards him and he stumbled into her arms.
Mitchie cried even harder when she felt a wet liquid on her neck, and she rubbed his head crying as well.
"Daddy loves you, Lex. He always will, as will I." she whispered in his ear.

Well, I've never actually been on the brink of crying before, so I guess this has to be my best work ever. In my opinion anyways. Tell me what you think.
I guess you can call this a Thanksgiving present. :)
