Deer Elsa,
It was suny agen to day. Mama and papa let me go out side. Nanys not heer to day, so i cood do wat i wanted. It was hot, so i took my shoos off and splashd in the pond. I tride to kech a fish, but thay wer to fast and slipery. Member we use to go fishing with mama and papa? I lik fishing. Its fun. But with out you, its not fun. It maks me sad, cuz yor not heer to coorage me. I wish you wer heer. Fishing is funner with you.
Luv,
Anna
Dear Anna,
I do remember fishing with you and Mama and Papa. It was one of your favorite things to do. I remember on our last fishing trip before...before I had to go away, Mama and Papa gave you the fishing rod so you could try to catch a fish. I was so proud of you. You sat so still and patient, waiting for a fish to bite. When one did and Papa helped you pull it out, your face lit up, you were so happy. But Papa said it was too small to keep, so he helped you throw it back.
I wish I was with you, too. Fishing is lots of fun with more people. But my curse just won't let me. I can feel it prickling inside me, fighting to get out. Most days, I'm good, but some days, it escapes from me. I don't know what to do. It almost scares me.
Love,
Elsa
Okay, I'm thinking from now on, I'll start jumping ahead in time, maybe posting a couple of letters for each season and every one of the girls' birthdays. I'll try not to make the story seem rushed. From here, I'll be skipping ahead to autumn. I'll try to remember to tell you when I'm making a time jump.
Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
