Dear Amanda,

I wish I told you more often that I’m sorry for blaming you for things and for bothering you. And for eating your food. I’m also proud of you for all your smart thinking and calmness. For example, when we got to school, I was supposed to walk you to your classroom but I didn’t. So when you got there, there was no teacher. You stayed calm and went to the gym–your first time ever! When I heard about that I felt sorry and very proud of you and I didn’t acknowledge that. So I’m very sorry for that, and good job.

Amanda, you’re very special to me because of your kindness. Like yesterday when there were no Kit Kat candies left and you gave me your own. I feel very thankful for that and I don’t say that enough. So thank you for all the things you’ve done and I love you very much.

Sincerely,
Luis, age 10
