Dear Dad,
I just got comfortable saying that to you. And now I have to go. I'm so sorry... I've been saying that a lot lately. Out of all the people in my life, you are one of the most imporant and special. Even when I barely knew you, in seventh grade, you were there to guide me. You helped Sean with his school problems. You even forgave him when he stole your laptop, something I could never do.
I thought you'd be the first one to go, in our family. Because of your cancer and all. But it's me. Selfish, little me. You're so brave compared to me, Dad. You stuck through cancer and I'm killing myself because I have a few problems.
Be brave for Mommy and Jack, Dad. I'm sorry that I can't.
I love you. I'll miss you.
Love,
Emma
Emma sealed the letter with a kiss and placed it on top of the one titled ' Mom '. She tried hard not to ruin the fancy lettering by the smearing of her tears.
2 down, 7 to go.
