Hey, Zhloe.

I’ve never really been good at this sort of thing, yet, I felt as though it needed to be addressed, or else I’d just be left with these feelings every day.
Yesterday, I worked hard making those wooden toy gifts for the children, and had gotten splinters in the process… but when I looked down upon at my hands,
I did not grimace. Rather, I smiled. These were the markings of our hard work, toiling week after week to keep the children feeling protected and happy.

Your selfless actions really made my heart flutter. When I first met you, you were always putting the ones you loved and cared for first, even if it meant
you had to eat things like leftover pudding and stale bread. You are a true paragon of appreciation; one that someone as self-centered as I could learn a thing or two from.

The day that we pulled Mephina’s Arms out of debt and saw both Khloe and T’kebbe’s smiling faces, on top of your tears that I desperately wanted to wipe away myself…
I felt like we shared a bond everlasting. After yesterday’s task was complete, I figured constructing this letter was the best thing to do… as a “thank you” for teaching
me the meaning of hope, and what it means to keep going strong even in the darkest of days and the blackest of nights.

Even if it means eating half-full cups of leftover pudding and hard stale flatbread, I’d love to do so… by your side, taking care of them one day after the next.

After all, you can always soften it up with a little hot water; the same way that I’ve softened my heart for you.

Yours truly,
Snow Seracroix
