Letter To Addie
Dear Addie,
I hope your mom gets her head on straight for the baby and I’m sorry that she left you so many times. I’m glad you know she still loves you though and is growing up more because of you. I bet you miss Soula and Elliot too. Let’s hope he’s not too lonely and things work out for him. Your life is very hopeful, because even with all your twists and turns you have finally found normal.
Sincerely,
Reagan
