Life Can Do Terrible Things

Dear Alex,

It’s been awhile. I know. But I'm not going to make it. I have two to three weeks left. That's what they say anyway. I'm writing this now because I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, I may not be able to work with the pain.

Kyle and Jordan are your kids. They're the reason my mom and my dad got back together and I moved. Yes, my real dad. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner and you have to find out this way. Kyle looks so much like you. He even acts like you too. Sometimes I swear someone switched you two. And Jordan, she looks like me. Or so I'm told. I really can't see it, though. She'll have you wrapped around her finger in seconds, I just know it.

I just ask one thing, make sure they know I love them.

Please, don't forget my family. I hope you let them see the kids. At least once or twice a year. It would mean everything to me.

I love you, Alex, with all my heart. I really, honestly, truly do.

Love,
Avery
