Chapter Fifteen: The letters
Shawn's POV:
I woke up in the morning and found a stack of letter on the table. A note followed. It read:
Dear Everyone:
We've gone downtown to run some errands. Please take the letters with your names on them. Apparently, Mr. Feeny knew he didn't have a ton of time left, so he wrote notes to the people he felt were most important in his life."
Shawn grabbed his letter and went on the porch to read it.
THE LETTERS:
Dear Shawn,
I sense that my time on earth is coming to a close, but in case I don't have a chance to speak to you before then I thought there were a few things you should know. First of all, I know about your drinking problem, and I do not judge you for it. You've had a more difficult time than most, what with losing your father and brother and all that. Alcohol is a dangerous trap, and so easy to fall into. I just hope you have to sense to get the help to crawl out of it. Second of all, I want to remind you of something. Remember when you went to that college philosophy class? Well, I have a hunch you are still interested, so when I go, I want you to have my collection of philosophy books. They may be a little old, but the ideas are still relevant today. Lastly, I want you to know that out of all the students I have taught over the years, I consider you a success.
Your teacher,
George Feeny
Dear Angela,
Because I am getting up on years, and I know that my time on earth is limited, I have a few things I want to tell you before you go. First of all, the novels were beautiful. Did you think I wouldn't recognize the pen name? Anyway, you have an amazing talent and I'm glad you've had the opportunity to share it with the world. Also, I must urge you to forgive Mr. Hunter. You will never begin to heal until you do. Lastly, I want you to know that you are an extremely beautiful person, both physically and spiritually, and nothing will ever change that. NOTHING!
Your Teacher,
George Feeny
Dear Cory,
I'll be frank with you, now that you're all grown up. I probably don't have many more sunsets. In fact, if you're reading this, I'm probably already gone. Look Cory, I know you made a mistake when it comes to Ms. Lawrence, but you were young, and scared, and it is possible to be forgiven. Unfortunately, by remarrying, I'm afraid you may have set yourself up for trouble. I want you to know that no matter whom you end up wed to, and whom you die with, I wish you the best of luck. Next, I'm going to tell you my secret for always knowing when you were going to do something bad. The secret is… EYES IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD! Just kidding. I'll never tell. That's a secret I'll take with me to the grave. Lastly, I must leave you with a task. You may know that they are planning to demolish John Adams. Please do all you can to prevent this from happening. That school has seen to many things to be destroyed, as if it is nothing. The same goes for your relationship with Ms. Lawrence.
Your Teacher,
George Feeny
Dear Topanga,
There are some things I must tell you, but I fear I won't have the chance. That is why I'm writing this. First of all, you must forgive Mr. Mathews. Your relationship was much too beautiful to be shoved into the deepest crevices of your brain, forgotten as if it were nothing. I must also tell you that I received your letter, and I believe you are much to good to waste your life in a store. I know it breaks your heart to see children that remind you of your fantasies about what your own child would have been like, but you must recover and put your teaching certificate to good use. From the day I first met you, I've known that you were destined to do great things. Please, prove me right.
Your teacher,
George Feeny
Dear Eric,
An elderly person always knows that their time is running out, and in case I don't get the chance to tell you a few things I believe you should know, I'm writing you this letter. Eric, you must know that I am very proud of you. At one point, I thought you would never make anything of yourself, but you have proven me wrong. You set your mind to being a mortician, and although it may have been an unusual career choice, you will never know how comforting you are to grieving families. Also, I am very glad you've met Bernadette, for she is a wonderful girl. Don't ever stop cherishing her, and I wish the two of you the best of luck. I thank you for all the years of entertainment and amusement you've provided me with, and I'll never forget the sound of you standing outside my door and calling my name. I hope you'll never forget the sound of my disgruntled response.
Your teacher,
George Feeny
Ok everyone, I know I've left out Morgan and Josh and probably some other characters, but I really just wanted to get in the main characters. Hope you enjoyed the letters!
