I
know we have not talked in years. Ever
since we shared that wonderful bed in my new mama’s house, (well the Fosters).
I have missed you lots. I
hope that you have missed me too. It seems that we grew apart, because of the
color of our skin. You had your friends and I, well I didn’t really have any
friends. I was just thinking about
how stupid that is. I was also
stupid as a kid. I kind of have to
get something off of my chest. When
I was a child I that that I could get diseases from you, and I thought that you
were lower than me, because you did not have indoor pluming, and you did not
live in a nice house. I even
thanked go I was not black like you.
I just want to tell you that I know I was wrong for what I did, or better
thought. I was just an innocent
little child. This probably does
not even matter to you, but to me it is a big deal.
It has been bugging me for years. I
never really could figure out why I thought those horrible things. I know that you probably think that I am disgusting right
now, but I am not.
I was just a foolish kid, and now I am old enough to admit that. I know that you were my best friend no matter what I thought of your house, or your food, or your bed. I know that I just wanted to be with you. Well thank you for always being there for me. Love,
Ellen
