dear Belle,

i held the beautiful silver keychain on my bible in my hand.

the one you gave me on my 21st birthday.

and i started to cry.

now don't u read this and start crying also.

i'll smack you.

i miss you.

Jeremiah 31:
³ “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

⁴ I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy
and dance merrily with your tambourines.
