Grandma / Kyle

When I was younger, I had a cousin who was so close to me, we were like brothers. We spent a lot of our childhood together and we were the only children in the family for a very long time, we were pretty much inseparable. He is currently away in Europe (he's in the military), and this weekend when we found out our grandmother died, his reaction was similar to mine in the fact that it was traumatic and hysterical.

He's on myspace and though I don't keep in touch with him, and he doesn't know this, he's going to be the biggest recipient when it comes to my last will and testament, whenever that day should come. I felt like making sure, that though we don't keep in touch now that we're older, that he should hear from me in this sorrowful time:

Hey Kyle,

I know you know what happened, it all took me by surprise as well. I want you to know that, even though we don't keep in touch, that you can write me about anything you need, anytime.

You and I had a similar relationship with her especially when we were young. You might not remember those times as much as I do, but we were there with her quite a bit.

Both you and I share another bond too though. We are both away from the family right now and that might make things hard on you... it does me too. It's time that you know that I believe that she's now able to be with us every bit as much as she's always been and that she watches over you just like she did when you were growing up.

I love you,

Eric
