Dear Wormmon,

I wonder if he watches me ... Osamu, I mean. I-I sometimes wonder ... Like right now. I guess I'm missing him. That's what my parents say. I think they're right. Wormmon, do you think that its possible to ... never mind. I talked to Davis about it anyway.

You know, its an interesting thing about Davis. As goofy and silly as he can be sometimes, he /really/ listens when you have a problem. He knows when you're upset and trying to hide it too, the clown. Just today, when I told him I was missing my brother, he made the funniest face I had seen in my life. Davis has some unique talents. I suppose Veemon does too.

That wasn't the weird thing, though. All of the sudden, he became completely silent and serious. Then he looked at me and so solemn scuffed his feet and said, "Maybe, when people die ... Maybe they become ... well ... Digimon ..." And then he stopped and looked down at his feet scuffing the ground, waiting for me to laugh or say it was stupid, like Izzy or Kari or T.K. would. I didn't say a word, Wormmon. I just stood there.

And now I'm thinking about what he said, wondering if some Digimon is my brother. I guess that's a foolish statement for someone like me. I'm not a child anymore. Stuff like that doesn't really happen ... Accept in the Digital World. The idea ... It makes me smile though.

What kind of person would you have been? Its probably better not to wonder. I like you just the way you are ... And of coarse all your Digivolvutions. I can still picture you, Wormmon ... Blue eyes, green face ... And your loyal voice through all my mistakes: "Ken ..."

And then I see me kicking you. Back to the drawing board. Ahg! Guess all the good memories couldn't last forever. Hey, at least I don't think about them all the time now.

Yolei tries to keep me on the "up and up". She says I'm better than her- "at least you don't stick your foot in your mouth. Sometimes, I even get it stuck!" I admire her honesty. You always know she's telling the truth. Ummm ... Don't tell her any secrets, though. Davis told her that he had a crush on a cheerleader, and it was around the school by noon.

I like her anyway. She's a good friend- and I never would have met her, Davis, or Cody had it not been for the Digitalworld. We're gonna play laser tag tonight. I'll think of you-- I always do.

Missing You,

Ken
