Dear Mommy,

This is the first letter I've ever written you in my own hand. The last letter, you might remember, Daddy wrote for me since I was just five. Now that I'm six, I can write to you myself. Daddy says you'll get this letter if he leaves it on your grave. I asked him if you would get me if he left me on your grave, but he said no, it wouldn't work with people. He's here beside me telling me how to spell things. I can spell my own name. I can spell a lot of words by myself. Ms. Hallow, my teacher, says I'm her brightest student. She and Daddy had a parent-teacher meeting today. Daddy says that she really said I was one of her little sparklers that make teaching interesting. I like that. I like Ms Hallow, but I don't really like school. There are these two girls, Brooke and Topaz, who are always picking on me. Daddy says to just ignore them, to be the bigger person, but it isn't easy. Jackson says that I killed you since you died just as I was born. Daddy punishes him for that. I'm sorry that I killed you, but Daddy says that no matter how many times he had to make that decision, he'd choose me living every time. Miley's going to start a singing career as soon as Daddy decides she's old enough since she's only eight. Jackson's ten. I don't know what he wants to be when he grows up. Miley and Jackson are writing letters to you today, too, since it is the anniversary of your death. Daddy says that he'll take us to the graveyard to deliver our letters today. We won't need any stamps, since we're not sending them through the postal service. I met this girl named Jolene Makanzie my first day of school. I wanted to write to you that day, but my writing wasn't good enough then, and Daddy was busy with something. He says it better to write you once a year anyhow, so that I don't get tired of it. He says that if I did it every day, I would start to see it as a chore and hate it. I don't hate my chores. I don't get to wash or dry the dishes yet, but Daddy says that I can when I'm older. I can't wait to go to the graveyard. Miley and Jackson aren't as excited, but Daddy says they just don't look at things like I do. I like reading, music time, writing, and story time. Daddy reads and sings to me every night. Sometimes Miley does, too. I like her voice. Daddy says that I can read to him every day after school. I can't wait. He says I can start tomorrow.

Love,

Kalissa Anne Stewart.
