Part of
Autumn.
And the chilliness
It brings!
Oh gosh
Autumn is my
Favorite month
Of them all.
-Darcy
Thankful
Ah November the
In between
For fall and
Winter.
A little colder
But still
Just as
Nice.
Yes Jay I
Will be home
For thanksgiving.
I always am
No matter
How far away
I am.
Of course
You being
Home this soon
Makes it easier
For me to
Mail two letters
At once.
And yes tell
Mom I'll help
With the
Turkey and
Stuffing.
This year
I'm thankful
For my family
The few friends
I have and
For meeting
Joy.
As cliche as
It sounds
And is she
Has made
A difference
Now.
-Darcy
Heart Breaker
Well aren't
You quite
The heart breaker
Jay?
Yeah I've heard
All the stories
About the
Girls that
Like you
But you turn
Down.
Hell at thanksgiving
Time you
Were charming
All the girls
In town.
Even some of
The guys
Too.
And then
You went
And disappointed
Them saying
You had a
Girlfriend.
Is this true?
Or are you
Just telling
Lies?
If you do
Have a girlfriend
Then I would
Like to meet
Her sometime.
On a different
Note I
Will not
Be coming
Home for
Christmas.
I know
It will
Disappoint
Mom and
Dad.
But they will
Understand.
I'm going
To spend
It with
Joy so
We're not
Alone.
-Darcy
Holidays
Happy holidays
Brother!
I've been busy
Decorating
All week
Long.
Not very
Many decorations
To put up
But I think
It turned out
Okay.
I went on
Date with
Joy.
I'm sorry
To hear
That things
Didn't work
Out with
The girl
You were
Seeing.
She sounded
Nice.
I know it's
Going to
Be different
Without
All of
Us together.
But mom
And dad
Will understand.
We are grown
Adults after
All.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
-Darcy
Head over Heels
Okay yes your
Right I am
Falling head
Over heels
For her.
But it's not
Like I fall
In love with
Everyone
I meet.
She's a really
Great person
Once you get
To know her.
And if you
Got the chance
To meet her
Then you
Would understand.
But we haven't
Exactly talked
About our
Families in
Depth.
I know enough
To get her
Childhood was
Far from
Good.
However it's
Not my place
To tell her
Story to
Others.
Joy's a good
Person.
And so much
Stronger then
She knows.
-Darcy
New Years Eve
I am currently
Sitting at home
With Joy.
We are watching
The countdown.
I bet you're
Off at some
Party or on
A date with
Someone.
You always did
Manage to
Make plans on
New years eve.
Like I said
Before you
Can be charming
When you want.
But mostly
Annoying.
It's strange not
Being home and
Watching this
With our parents.
A lot's changed
These past
Months.
-Darcy
Rainy Days
I just love
Rainy days.
But then I
Guess you
Knew that
Already.
There's just
Something peaceful
About them.
Sometimes they
Put me in
A sleepy mood.
Other times I
Just feel
Calm.
I can't quite
Explain it.
Remember when
We were little
And I ran
Outside in
The pouring rain?
Mom was so
Mad.
Grounded me for
A week.
-Darcy
One Year
Hard to believe
It's been one
Year since
I moved
Here.
And it's been
Two years since
You moved to
Cali hasn't
It?
And one year
With Joy.
So many
Memories in
One year.
I've noticed
Your letters
Are becoming
Fewer and farther
Apart.
I know your
Busy but
You seem distant.
Is there something
You want to
Tell me?
I'm always here
If you need
Or want
To talk.
I will always
&nbs
p; Make sure
There's time for
You.
-Darcy
Fall
Already that time
Of year again.
I know it's been
A while
Since I've sent
You a letter.
I guess I've
Been busy
Too.
This year will
Be a bit
Different.
I'm still coming
For thanksgiving
But I won't
Be staying long.
And I'll be
Spending
Christmas
At home.
I guess this
City has
Become my
Home now.
-Darcy
Christmas
Merry Christmas
Jay.
This letter will
Be shorter
Then usual.
I have a million
And one
Things to
Do.
And most of
Them are last
Minute gift
Shopping.
I know I'm
Terrible.
I always put
Things off
Until later.
-Darcy
Dandelion Wishes
Do you remember
When we used
To pick
Dandelion puffs?
We would make
Wishes.
But maybe
They never
Came true
Mostly because
We always told
Each other
Our wishes
Today.
Well I found
Some puffs
Today and
Made a wish.
But I'm not
Telling you
What it is
Or else it
Won't come
True.
-Darcy
Wedding Bells
Okay I know
This is going
To sound crazy.
But we've been together
For three years
Now.
I know we
Don't live
Together yet.
And you think
That's strange
But I don't
Care.
I'm going to
Ask Joy
To marry me.
I can just
Imagine you
Shaking your
Head.
I know I
Ran out on
The last
Wedding.
And there
Were reasons
For doing
So.
I love her
Jay.
And I'm going
To ask her
Soon.
I already bought
A ring.
-Darcy
Dear Jay
I hope you
Never have
To read this.
However if you
Are then it
Means I
Did not
Get better.
I know you
Hoped I
Would.
And so
Did I Jay.
But a miracle
Didn't happen.
I tried so hard
To fight this
But I'm
Getting tired.
Hopefully you
Never read this
But my hope
Grows weaker
Day by day.
I love you.
-Joy
