Dearest Bee,

I hope you don’t think I’ve forgotten about you?!  I know it’s harder for you and I to connect given that you do not have a phone or any means to see the world wide web.  I hope this can change for you somehow.  I believe your move into high school will make things better for you.

I remember when I was in eighth grade.  I was going to a performing arts jr. high school and getting to do lots of acting.  I learned set design AND advanced acting.  I was lucky. I love the play called Steel Magnolias.

Below is a scene from the movie with Julia Roberts and Sally Field.

I hope your sister reads this to you and this helps you know how much I love and think of you everyday.  I miss you both so much, it hurts.  But, we’ll get through this.  We’re tough!  We’re Steel Magnolias!

Love,

Prudence
