Chicken legs,

You know why you are getting this letter. Well, you know what the purpose of this letter is. first things first I don't want you panicking that i should not have wasted a letter on you and i should have sent this to my parents or something. I can hear you shouting from here, relax they got one too. But you get one as there are some things that i needed to say to you and i couldn't say them to your face before i was deployed because if i did you would have got all emotional and i wouldn't have been able to finish or leave because it would have made everything so much harder. So here goes

I want you to know, that knowing you was the best part of life. You are amazing. From the first moment i saw you on Hammersley i knew there was something about you, every time i am with you i catch my breath. The way you you say don't do slimy or the way you dont do guns yet you joined the armed forces. I have loved you since you first fell at my feet and when we were on the ex-ped when you couldn't kill that rabbit because it reminded you of thumper. Truth is i couldn't kill it either after that. when you tried to sneak all your make up bag over. Thank God you brought the eyelash curlers. Your bravery made me love you even more even when i told you to run and save yourself you still tried to save everyone else.

Don't be sad for me. I had an amazing life. I got to do some amazing things and see some amazing places and to have you be a part of that even just for a small while. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. It's going to feel odd for a while it always does when something like this happens and that's okay

Live your life i know you will go on to do amazing things and be an amazing sailor maybe even a CO one day you have driven like I have never known before. You will be amazing and i may not be there to see it physically but i will be there alongside you.

Don't think of me too often just live your life and be the most amazing, brilliant human I know you will be fantastic

All my love

Dylan

so i hope you are enjoying these last letters. my brain is a little fried trying to think of them which is hard getting in to the minds of them all especally trying to think of what they might say in their last letter.

anyway just as a disclaimer Dutchys Letter is hevily based on the letter Will sends Lou in me before you
