OPEN WHEN...
Letters from the late Natalie to her daughter, Tris. Before she died, Natalie created letters to give to Tris when she got older. Here are the words that she left her daughter. From Finding the Strength.
Open When… you get this box.
Beatrice,
I love you. That's the first and most important thing I want you to know. I love you. And no matter what you do, what you say, where you go, or who you become, I will always love my Beatrice. When I turned 18, and I was leaving for college, my mother gave me a box full of letters. She told me that, over the years, she wrote many letters to me. She also told me that her mother did the same thing to her, so I think that it is only fitting to do the same to you.
So here it is… Letters to my daughter. Every one of them is different, and in case something were to ever happen to me I will always be here in these letters. Always guiding you until I have done my job and you are guiding yourself. (And even then, I will be a light on the shore in your sea of life.)
Love, Mother
Author's Note
Hello! For those of you who read "Finding the Strength," you may recognize some of these letters. (If you haven't read FTS, I highly recommend it!) There will be letters included in this 'story,' and letters that have yet to be in the story. (Exciting!)
I am having trouble updating my other stories because I have been super busy! (I made the Dean's List at school last semester which kept me studying all the time, sorority stuff keeps me busy, I got mono, and I am an engineering intern this summer and working full time.) Despite the excuses, I hope you are all still reading and being patient. I am trying, I promise!
Be brave, everyone!
