Dear Emily,
How have things been back down in Texas? Is it cold? How are your mom and dad, and your older brother? I am fine. I know it has been a LONG time since we last spoke with each other (the last time I talked to you was mid May of last year), and I am sorry I haven't really tried to contact you much since then (this includes Christmas Day, I completely forgot to call you, but I did on your birthday even though nobody answered the phone). I meant to and never got around to it, then I dropped the phone that had your number on it in the bathroom sink, and it took me awhile to obtain it again on my backup phone. We moved to St. Clairsville last month, and I like the area. I am extremely sorry that I didn't really spend a whole lot of time with you in the 3 or so years before I left Texas except for that one time in December 2007 (if I recall correctly, it was somewhere around there), I guess I was a little shy. And you moved a little up the road shortly prior to my visit. Do you resent me for leaving, or not talking to you much beforehand? You didn't seem mad when I last talked to you, but I still wonder about it, as stupid as that may be with you being my best friend for the longest time and whatnot. Remember the fun we had together when we were kids? You and I used to swing on the swingset in my grandmother's backyard, play with Lucy (the dog), spray each other with the water hose, and all sorts of fun stuff. I remember showing you my pet mouse once (but she eventually passed), and the fish, too. I heard about your dog passing, and I'm sorry. Romeo, our dog, is fine. He has been the sweetest thing ever, and I love him to death! I miss you, and I hope to see you again sometime. Maybe I could come visit in the summer or something like that.
Your Best Friend,
Amy.
