dear addison arthur wakeford,
i know we still talk online quite frequently, though i miss you a whole lot. i miss us being mean to each other and being really immature and then making up and having a really great friendship. you are cute and i was stupid. remember when i had a crush on you in 9th grade and you told me i was too good for you? that wasn't true, but it's okay because i think we will end up being friends for a long time, even if we don't see each other but once a year or once every other year. you still make me laugh and even though we both look a lot different, i hope that when i see you this summer (or sooner if i drive to florida), it will be like we never parted. things change but dear friends remain so close and the same. i wish you well until next time.

love,
hope elizabeth collins
