You're 8 today. I just can't get over that. I'm so excited for you. Over the last three years I've been there to watch how much you've grown. You have grown socially, emotionally and obviously you're taller.
You've been through way more than an 8 year old should have to have experienced. I thought that I could be a stabilizing force in your life. You didn't trust me at first, and you fought me so hard, trying to see if I'd abandon you. How tragic that we got over that and bonded, but I left your life soon after.
We're not family anymore. We can't even be friends. I have to move past this all, and leave you behind. I'll never get to say goodbye, or let you know that I still care. There's nothing that I can do about it.
Happy Birthday, kid. Goodbye. Look after your brother, you're the only person who is always there for him.
