Dear Julius,

Mom caught me writing this letter to you. She says I can’t write to you ever again or she’ll tell Mr. Robert. I told her I write in the dark and no one knows, but she still said no.

So this is my last one for now, and I just want to say that this place we live in now is beautiful. It’s hard being here in a lot of ways, but yesterday I walked home from school through the park and snow was falling, and I felt like the luckiest person in the world.

The hardest part is not having you here with me, but it’s not nearly as hard as it used to be. It used to be that your life had ended, but now that we’re here, it hasn’t even begun. We are fixing things, so when your life does begin you are going to get to do the greatest stuff. You’re going to swim in the ocean and eat mangoes anytime you want. And you’re going to see squirrels and carpenter bees and maybe have a dog for a pet. And I’m going to show you how to plant these oniony bulbs that become flowers in the spring.

It’s going to be a better life for us, J. You are going to get to grow up this time, I promise you.
