Dear Bonnie

Dear Bonnie,
I could have sworn I wrote a letter to you already, but my records show no such thing. So! Here you are! I'm so glad I caught that though, I can't imagine leaving you out when you've been so influential and helpful in my life. How's life without the girls in the house? I imagine kind of lonely. Probably a big adjustment, but at least Kathleen isn't too far right? I can't believe she's engaged! That's so exciting! And scary I bet haha. Your girls are growing up! It makes me feel old.
I hope Willie has been keeping you two company at least and that Lawrence hasn't been bothering you too much. I'm guessing dad bugs mom all the time now that Tiff and I aren't around to bother. She never really seems to complain though, just seems rather happy when Tiff or I am around.
How have you been feeling lately? I was grateful for the message on Facebook about being strong and figuring out what works best for yourself. I know it's going to take a long time and a lot of patience, but with examples like you and some of my relatives I know that it'll all work out in the end and I'll figure out what works for me. So thank you for that, you're one of the people I've always looked up to.
I miss you guys a lot and hanging out at the cabin in the summer. It was such a fun summer even though the weather wasn't the greatest. It's probably one of the things I miss most about living in Saskatchewan. I miss coming out and just lazing around all weekend and going swimming. It was perfect haha. One of these summers I'll come visit again. I'm attempting to stay here this summer and see what Newfoundland is all about in the sunny months (hopefully they're sunnier than their winters). I really am enjoying my last semester here so maybe I'll end up staying for my masters. We'll see.
So thank you for everything you've done. You're practically a second mother to me and have been so helpful in so many parts of my life.
Miss you.
Love you.
Sincerely,
Yvette
