dear kristi,

i wish that you would write me back. i hope the letter i sent was to the right kristi and got to you. you helped me out so much when i was in portland. i could never thank you enough. things would've turned out very differently if it weren't for you. i would have never seen the light at the end of the tunnel. but i did because i saw it in you. you have me hope that one can go through hard rough times and still turn out to be an amazing bad ass kind person who every day makes a difference in other people's lives. you took me out for gelato that one day on break from work and just told it like it was. and i needed that. and i am thankful for that every day since then. i wish that we would not have fallen out of touch. but wherever you are i hope that you are healthy and living a great life every moment. i hope that you somehow know how much you changed my life. i hope that you are getting everything you always deserved. i hope that somehow that good you gave me is returned to you a million fold. i love you and i love what you mean to me. i hope one day that i can see you again and tell you all this. but until that day, i hope somehow someway you know.

all my heart,
lesley
