Eric,
I received your letter today, and I wanted to get one right back out so you will be sure to get it before Saturday. You know I guess it is kinda silly to keep writing when we could just call each other. Honestly though, I am kind of enjoying the letter writing. It's definitely a lost art form don't ya think? Maybe it's because it seems easier to talk about personal and sometimes even intimate subjects. It gives us time to really think about what we want to say and not just react.
Anyway, I do want to say I appreciate your comment about Arlene. It was kinda mean, but it's nice to know that someone else understands my point of view. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks she's making some major mistakes and will regret it. I don't understand her choices though; we use to be friends. Did you know that I used to babysit for her kids? They are really great which makes me feel bad for them. I really don't wish anything bad to happen to her. Actually, I pray for her all the time and I want to her to see the truth. I mean I would even be fine if she didn't want to have anything to do with vampires, but hating people; well that never brings anything good with it. Like you said she's going to end up getting herself hurt, then what happens to her children?
Oh well, I guess we all make our choices, huh. Sorry about getting so heavy. I guess just thinking about the kids really bums me out. Why don't some of these parents realize what a blessing children are. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair that people who don't deserve them are the ones' who end up having them. Makes me kinda sad to think about it, guess that's all part of reaping what we sow, huh. Of course I'm not sure how that whole thing works out for you guys; I mean vampires.
Anyhow, I'm getting off topic. I wrote to tell you I don't work Saturday and I have plans, but I think it might work out. I am having have lunch with Terra, and then I'm going shopping in Shreveport during the afternoon. I'll just move my shopping back a bit later and then if it's okay, pop by Fangtasia during the evening around 7:30 or so. If that works you, just call me and let me know.
I'm really interested and a bit anxious about the info you have about Mickey I also am kind of curious about your whole take on the normalcy thing. I was surprised that you of all people mentioned having "normalcy through connecting with someone emotionally". Eric are you trying to tell me you have become more emotional since your memory loss? Because I thought you didn't really have any use for them. I'm really curious about this whole discussion in your last letter. "My Eric" definitely had his share of emotions and didn't hide them, but of course he didn't know to either. I guess it was that whole "back to basics" thing I was talking about in my last letter. If we have time Saturday maybe we can talk about it more. You definitely have my interest peeked. I will plan on seeing you then, but please call to confirm okay?
Take care of yourself Eric and be safe,
Sookie
P.S. Thank you for the sweet compliment. I didn't miss it in your letter; I just don't know quite what to say other than thank you.
