Hey! How have
you been? It’s seemed like ever since peer counseling ended we haven’t talked
as much. I really miss you. How are things with your Mom? I’m so glad that you
guys understand each other now. I have to say, I was really worried about you
after that whole piano incident, you know with Gregorie. Well I just have to
say thank you for all the things you did for me and my brothers when my mom was
sick. I’m so glad I have you to talk to. You know, all I ever wanted was to
have a normal family, but after my dad left I knew things would never be
normal. I tried to conceal my dysfunctional family life, I got really good
grades, did extra activities, I mean I look normal don’t I?I have to say
Jazz, when you walked in to the teachers lounge that day I wanted to
jump up and leave. After all you are the infamous Jazz Luther. I even told Dr.DiLeo
that I wanted to quit. In the end I think you helped me with more of my
problems than your problems. I am so glad that I got to share this experience
with you, even though we haven’t known each other for that long, I feel like
I’ve known you forever. Thank you so much for all your support.
You have been an
inspiration, guardian and swim teacher to me. Watching you play piano made me
want to find something that I was good at, something unexpected from me. You
may not know this, but you helped me find it. Before I met you I couldn’t swim,
and you taught me. When you took the time to teach me how to swim it meant so
much to me. Nobody has ever been that nice to me. Honestly Jazz if it weren’t
for you and your “save-the-day” Mother I wouldn’t have made it through this. When
my mom snapped that night I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t
taken the time to check in with me. All my life I’ve been looking after
everyone and I never had any time for myself. You were the first person who
ever looked out for me and cared about how I felt. Jasmine Luther you are my
best friend…..I have never had a friend like you. Being with you helps me learn
more about myself. Over the past year I have thought so much about the time we
spent together. Mom’s doing great know…the psychiatrist says she’s stable, and
for the first time in a while, she’s happy, and we’re happy. I probably won’t
be seeing you for a while, because my dad invited me to stay with him for a
while…. I think I just might go.
All my love to
you and your family,
Antonia Dillon
