Hi Jill,

I hate to start a letter to you like this but I have to set you and everyone else straight, as it wasn't just you I have heard from with everything about Dad. Aunt Lydia also racked me over the coals in a letter.

So first off, I wasn't avoiding Dad. I was busy with college stuff more specifically exams. When Dad got out of the clinic I was right in the middle of mid terms. I didn't want to deal with that right then on top of my exams.

Even with that though, I wasn't ready to deal with it. I know, and everyone in the family knows, what Dad means to me and I will never ever forget that, but you come up here and see him sitting in his recliner a skeleton of who he was to me; to US. He is gone Jill and I don't know how to deal with it. I admit that.

So if I am avoiding him and home it's because I want to remember him as I have; The energetic loving father who use to chase me around the beach and tickle me till I cried mercy. Who pushed me on the swings when no one else would when I said higher higher. That is the father I want to remember. I know I will have to go by eventually, but I have to on my terms not everyone else's.

Brighter side, Tommy is great. He is a guy in one of my classes and we played volleyball together with a lot of the class one full day at the beach. The beaches here just aren't the same as at Grandmas beach house. The sand there seems softer. But I already knew that growing up in the Bay Area. What can you do? Stand in and volley up the ball hehe

Sorry to hear that police work isn't all you thought it would be. Though it seems like you are all, Bri, Kelly and you are the victim of girls in a boys club. Some of the students here are starting to say that. How woman can't seem to get the same jobs as men, yet hold the same degrees. Doctors are one and obviously so are the Police dept. Don't worry Jill I know you will get what is due to you and you will be busting criminals in no time.

I tell all my friends here that my big sister is a police officer. The guy's just laugh, but some people look at me, mostly my girlfriends, with a good for her look. You'll work it out, you always do.

So look, it's my turn to cut this short as I have an early class. Good luck getting on the streets and doing what you want. But favour, don't bring up me and dad again. I have to do this on my terms not everyone else's. And I would appreciate if you just dropped it and left me alone on this.

I called Grandma the other day and I will be down for Thanksgiving. We all will. Hope to see you there. Maybe Bri and Kelly could join us all. You know Grandma, the more the merrier.

See you soon sis.

Love you lots.

Your little sister forever,

Kris
