Dear God,
Hi! I'm Gabriella Anne Montez and I am 6. My mommy calls me Gabi so you can call me that. I live in Wyckoff New Jersey right now. I have lived here since I was a baby. But my mommy says we're moving soon.
My mommys name is Ana Montez. I love her a lot even though she doesnt pick me up from school until really late because of her job.
You know my daddy! He died right after I was born in a plane crash. Mommy says you take really good care of him in heaven now. Mommy also said that hes in a better place now.
The reson I'm writing you a letter is because I don't want to move away!!! My best friends live here in Wyckoff and so are my Abuela Montez and Nana Hart. Nana Hart is real old and her house smells like watermelon.
Mommy is getting a promotion at her work. She says were moving to New York City. I went there last year and I remember that it was big and loud. But that was when I was still 5. I'm 6 now and that's much older.
I'm sorry we don't go to church anymore. We used to, but ever since Mommy got a new job she has to work on Sundays.
I miss you lots God. I will try to make it to church this week. Mommy promised we could go this week.
I'll pray lots, I promise.
Love,
Gabi ♥
PS-Can you not tell my mommy I wrote this? It's almost 8:15 and I was supposed to be in bed a whole 15 minits ago! Oh, no! I hear Mommy! Bye!
