Chapter 39
Jay,
The day I found out we were moving from Fort Campbell to Nashville was one of the worst days of my little life. Being so young, it felt like my entire world crumbled away when Pop got his new job. I didn’t want to leave.
Then we got to Nashville, and there was that one kid—George.
Always had to call me chubby. He was the first kid I met here, and he was such a jerk.
I remember wishing I never would’ve met him and that Pop never got his promotion, but the two worst things in my life turned into the best things that could’ve happened to me.
George’s being a jerk at least led me to you and Ari, which led to Mira.
Mom and Pop were never close with their families, so I never knew what it was like to have a bigger, loving family until you three.
I don’t think I realized how lonely I was as an only child.
You three taught me how to skateboard, how to crush it on Legends of the Hidden Temple if we ever made it on the show, how to appreciate music, how to appreciate each other, how to love and be loved.
I’m glad to have the Wylers back in some capacity…and there will be a day where the four of us are together again and all is okay. Just gotta keep on keeping on until we get there. And we'll make it. I know we will.
I love you,
A
