"There was a time in our lives when we were so close that nothing seemed to obstruct our friendship and brotherhood, and only a small footbridge seperated us Just as you were about to step on it, I asked you:"Do you want to cross the footbridge to me?"--immediately, you did not want to any more; and when I asked you again, you remained silent. Since then mountains and torrential rivers and whatever separates and alienates have been cast between us, and even if we wanted to get together, we couldn't. But when you now think of that little footbridge, words fail you and you sob and marvel."

Hello.
I've been with my family for the past four days and it's been beautiful. I swear. I've been humbled at the sight of my wonderful brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents. This is the holiday season to me. Not exactly Christmas perhaps, but maybe something related.

Anyways, I miss you.

Do you realize I write to only you? Because I have no friends who would either care enough to read much less understand what I put in here. Anyways, I hope you're having a good Christmas. I miss you...again. I'm incredibly sleepy. Recovering from the sickness.
Going to watch Nicholas play Mario Party 8.

Love,
Emily

that is such a fantastic picture. both of them. and don't worry, i didn't click on any of them. i look at the first picture and it comes back to me how completely and totally gorgeous you are. i'm jealous. and not in a "cat fight!" "i'm going to try and bring you down on your knees" kind of jealous. then maybe jealous isn't the right word. extremely appreciative? wishful thinking? maybe?

you look good, kid. and you, without fail, always email me back, unlike other people. (aka walt, andrew, katie sometimes, morgan sometimes) you're always there, always gorgeous, always...you.

<3 you. happy that you're having a happy season.

you make my heart happy,

emilea
