Dear Dad,
Life without you here… its tough. Mom has been staying out really late. I have to take care of Jason and Maddie when that happens. I wish you didn’t have to be away… I wish things were back to normal and I could be with you in my room.
Today I heard something about Jason and Maddie having to live with Uncle Scott. I don’t want to be here alone with mom. It’s really lonely without some company my age or someone I look up to, like you. I cried last night. I missed you so much, and when I looked at the stars… I wondered how they could still be that bright in the sky while something so horrible is going on. I don’t care how you always said God will protect me, God is dead to me.
I hope you are safe. Please respond. It’s getting harder to live…

Matthias
