Dear Sweetie,
You were the only one who ever treated me as a family member. As a 10 year old child my mother (your daughter) left me home alone to take care of my 2 toddler sisters for 12 hours + every day. You were always the only one who acknowledged what was happening to me was wrong. During the school year, I would have to watch my siblings at night while my father did drugs and went into rages around us. My mother knew, but didn't care so long as a child was home taking his abuse instead of her. And when I finally left the abuse, you took me in. And my head was so messed up, half the time I didn't act grateful, but I was. And when I moved in with you, my mother finally threw my dad out, because it was unacceptable to her for "my sister" to go through the abuse I went through. I wasn't worth defending as far as she was concerned. But you defended me, Sweetie. You were the only one who stood up for me, and now you are gone. I love you Sweetie. I will see you again someday.
