The Red Rose

Simon,

How are you holding up?

This letter's more for me than for you, to be honest.

I'm writing to you, Simon, because I just can't forget.

I can't bring myself to move on from leaving you all alone there.

I wasn't to know Mom and Dad would be gone so shortly after I sought out ways to make our lives better.

All that I did...

I did it for you.

Please try to understand that. Forgive me.

I'm so sorry.

I love you, baby brother. Never forget that.

Love,

.  .  .
