A slow tremor started in uidance I needed to keepthis letter to the lawyer, knowing his time here on Earth was li happened for a reason

I slipped er under the flap of the envelope and opened it

The first line drew a sob I wasn’t aware I’d been holding back

My darling Alexa…

Dad would never say those words to ain I closed my eyes and tried to calm down I can do this I can read this letter

Taking a deep breath, I focused on my dad’s words

My darling Alexa,

You have alwaysthat I need to tell you I couldn’t find the words while we talked on the phone I hope to take you to the cabin and tell you during your next visit But if that time doesn’t coirl

I know you love Drake, but you need to listen to me

Drake is not the right man for you I know this comes as a shock, but I need you to trust s with him It will be for the best I know this doesn’t makefor me In time you’ll understand why This ive you

I love you, Alexa, with my whole heart
