Disclaimer/AN: The usual, I don't own it. Anyway, to clear the confusion, the last two chapters were from the "now" perspective…meaning after Date With the Night. I'm sorry for the wait, I've kinda been mulling over what to put in this next. From here on out, the letters will be in random order, but always in pairings. In short, without giving too much away, think of it like a box, a huge box of letters to Tommy from Jude and vice versa. They aren't in any order, they just are.

One more thing, Reagen, we already know, but Carys, Dinah (pronounced Dee-na) and Peyton are their other kids, in order of age, for future reference.

Dear Tommy,

Peyton graduated today. All of our kids are gone. I've been a mother for so long, I don't think I know how to do anything else. We've been arranging our lives around our kids, my music, your producing trips, everything, for so long. How do we not? I don't know what to do anymore.

On top of that, Reagen told us she was getting married. I saw you tense. You don't want her to, don't trust Will at all. Tommy, he's my best friend's son. How bad can it be? I'm trying to sound so ready, but I'm not either. She's our baby.

Carys is going to graduate college soon. Oh, god, Tommy, we're so old. Our kids are all grown up. Dinah is changing her major for the millionth time.

I guess I'm grateful though, that we're healthy, and the kids are. I sound so old. I'm still the same Jude though. I hope. I've had kids, and an amazing career, but I hope I'm still the same as the fifteen year old you meet all those years ago. Am I?

And you, you're still Tommy. I love you. I can't stop saying it. We've been married for 26 years, and I still get weak in the knees when you walk in the room. I'm terrified about our kids leaving, but I have you, you old man. I love you, so much

Jude
