I don't mind you writing instead of visiting at all. Really, in some ways, it's almost better. It's nice to get mail, and this way I can keep everything with me even after an hour is gone.
I know we didn't really talk much at school. It wasn't because I didn't want to, but you were so much more grown-up seeming than I was, I didn't want to bother you. But maybe I can get to know you now? I'm not any more grown-up, but this way you only have to answer when you feel like it.
It's real nice of you to say such nice things about me, even knowing what I did. This is the right thing to do, though. I know it, but it's hard to really explain. So thank you, I guess, for understanding that this is something I need to do.
I'm glad to hear that this last year was so good to you, that you managed to get rid of the darkness. I hope the next year is just as good. You deserve it. Sunspot does, too.
Best, Vance
P.S. Of course I don't mind. Thank you for thinking of me.
