_{Its been 21 years.}

_{22 years since I last saw you.}

_{I thought I should tell you that life has been relatively good to me, aside from its ups and down, but it feels empty without you.}

_{I think about you at least once a day. You, and our big sister.}

_{I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry that your life was cut so tragically short.}

_{Today would've been your 21st birthday. But you never got to celebrate your first.}

_{I lay a flower on your grave, and hope that you can forgive me for not protecting you better. But you would say that that's life, and that it wasn't my fault.}

_{I hope, wherever you are, you have a good birthday.}

_{With love,}

_{Your big brother Frank}
