Unsent text message to Chloe

mind telling me why you spent the last year messing with me & now suddenly everything that's happened is my fault & you still haven't even talked to me?

ok love you bye

With my birthday coming, I wonder if you will think of me. It‘s a big one and hard to imagine it without you. I will enjoy it, and those around me will make it special. I just hope I hear from you.

You're still my hero, dad. Always will be.

I'm sorry it all happened the way it did.

The last time I saw you in person, before your stroke, you told me when you died, I would just have to move on with my life.

Shows how well you know me…

true maturity is when you're not afraid to be like "idk"

I really hope you're happier now. I've been angry and mad so many times the past few months but I honestly think it was the grief of losing the person I love most.

I get it now. I wouldn't be happy or be in love with me, right now, if I was you either. you tried so hard. I do wish you'd communicated better at the end…

there's a possibility i was wrong about some things i've said. especially when i was a teenager, but. there's no time limit on "things i've said that were incorrect"
