Dear Dad,
A.J. is doing much better now, and is supposed to get out of the hospital next week. I can't wait to bring her home where she belongs.
It's been really scary these last couple of days, as the cuts on her back became infected somehow. She's a very strong little girl. I realize now that she is so much like Kit in that respect. There's nothing that can keep her down.
She's been sitting up by herself for the last week and a half, and the doctors have told me that if she works hard enough, she will be able to walk again. Praise the Lord!
She asked me if I would take her by the cemetery when she gets out, so that she can finally tell her friends good-bye. Shelly, Cameron, and Theresa were the three girls killed in the wreck besides Shelly's mom.
The other two girls, who survived along with A.J., have started a small support group for people who have survived like them. All three of them will be wheelchair bound for a while, but they've all vowed to get their therapy appointments at the same time, so that they can cheer each other on while they learn to walk again.
Out of all of them, A.J. has the farthest to go. All of them are optimistic, and are looking forward to learning to live their lives again.
A.J., Morgan, and Faith were subpoenaed to testify about the wreck at the trial. I have also been asked to testify, because I was one of the first ones on the scene. You have no idea how much that tore my heart out, when I realized who the occupants of the minivan were.
It's almost lunchtime, so I'll let you go so I can fulfill a promise and take "my girls", the survivors, to lunch.
I just wanted you to know that I understand why you acted the way you did after Mom died. I understand completely. I know that we've been estranged for a long time, but I wanted to try and see if we could maybe revive a relationship.
A.J. says to tell you hi, and that she's looking forward to coming out to Seattle this summer.
Love, Edwin
