Letter #15: The person you miss the most

Dear Ms. Craig,

Yeah how lame, right? The person I miss the most is my kindergarten teacher? Well I did some deep thinking on this letter, so here's why I'm writing to you.

I miss kindergarten more than any high school student ever should. I wanted to marry Shaggy from Scooby Doo and George of the Jungle. All I had to do to make friends was share my jumbo pack of crayons with people. And you made me feel special. Think about it, all a kindergarden teacher is expected to do is teach kids the alphabet, the numbers 1-10, make sure everyone lives through the school year, and be nice to all the kids. And Ms. Craig, you did your job REALLY well. I couldn't wait to go to school because you made me feel like the greatest kid on the planet.

So I hope you're doing well. As you can see I really miss your class from ten years ago, and I hope you're still being a wonderful kindergarten teacher :)

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #14: Someone you've drifted away from

Dear Ariana,

Let's go back to... kindergarden, shall we? Wow, that makes me feel old!! We were completely inseperable. Then we were so happy when our moms put us both in multi-age. That's when you introduced me to Amberlie, then the three of us were always together. Remember on twin day when we decided we were going to be rebels and do triplet day instead? That was awesome :) You and your sisters made my life amazing. I played horse tag for the first time with you and Victoria!! I've never had so much fun but been so scared at the same time in my life.

There are a couple reasons I haven't talked to you in what seems like forever. Oh my goodness I forgot your birthday for the first time in like 10 years!! :( Wow I'll have bad dreams about that tonight... Anyways, I don't know what your number is now! I think it changed like three times... Also, no one ever lets me know when you're at your grandpa's house, which is what? Two seconds away from my house?

Anyways, thanks for being such an amazing friend to me for so long, hopefully I'll get to talk to you soon!

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #13: Someone you wish could forgive you

Dear Savannah,

So I know you say you forgive me, and maybe you really do, but I feel still feel so bad!! I was so full of it in 5th grade, and I know I should have treated you better because you were all such amazing friends :)

Well... I pretty much love you!! I had so much fun at the football game yesterday, especially when Dominique made me spit rootbeer all over myself :) You guys always make me do something strange when I'm around you.

See you in english!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #12: The person who caused you a lot of pain

Dear Jalyn,

It's crazy to think we were inseperable, and then out of nowhere, something really small turned into something huge, and soon you were telling me that your sister said you couldn't hang out with me. Really?? Is she your mom?

All I can say is that I'm kind of grateful that happened. Not that having to go to school every day with absolutely no friends was fun, but I found out who my real friends were. And I probably wouldn't have met Daysia, and no offense, but if I had stayed friends with you, and looking at you now... I have no idea where I'd be.

I know we're not really friends now, but I'm glad that we've both moved on, and that you don't glare at me anymore. Can't wait to see you at school!

LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #11: A Deceased Person You Wish You Could Talk To

Dear Great-Grandpa,


First of all, I just want to say that I feel so lucky I even got to know you at all. You've done so much for everyone. Me, your family, your community, your country. I can't even tell you how many 100% history assignments I've gotten all because of you and the service you have done this country.


I don't think I've ever cried from sadness and happiness as much as I did when you died. Your blonde jokes that were shared. The competition of who was the favorite child, grandchild, great-grandchild (I win in that category!) when we all knew that you loved us all the same. And it is more love than anyone else has ever shared. When I saw the picture that you had of me in your wallet, I broke down and cried the rest of the day away. And every time Grandma tells me the story of how you jumped up and down like a little kid when you found out I was a girl still makes me laugh until I cry. Mostly because you were in your seventies when I was born, and that kind of energy is something everyone counted on you to have. Running out the door when we pulled into the driveway, jumping out of an airplane when you were 50 just to prove you could do it, the stories go on and on.


I truly am grateful for the blessings you gave us while you were here, and I can't wait to see you again. I love you and miss you more than you know.


LoveLoveLove,
Paige

Letter #10: Someone You Don't Talk To As Much As You'd Like To

Dear Abby,

It really stinks that pretty much the only time I get to see you is twice a year at girl's camp or certification, or occasionally in the hallway at church. But I do know that when we're together at camp, I'm always having SO much fun!!

Sometimes I get jealous of this crazy, awesome energy that you always have. I've never, ever seen you looking bored, or tired, or mad, or sad and I wish I could be more that way. It makes everyone want to be around you, and I swear it's contagious because every time I'm with you, I feel just a little more tempted to go do something insane and crazy and fun!!

Well gorgeous, I love you and hopefully I'll see you around soon!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

P.S. You are so lucky to be in the ward with all the cute guys!!! :D

Letter #9: Someone You Wish You Could Meet

Dear Wendy,

There are times I just sit and think about how my life would be if you were here. Would Matthew have been born? Would I already be an aunt right now? Would you be the best big sister I could ask for? Would I have shared a room with you my whole life? It really stinks to think that I'll never know. God must have really wanted you up in Heaven with Him to take you back so soon after you were here.

How is it in Heaven? I can only imagine... I have to say I'm jealous you get to hang out with Great-Grandpa all day. I'm sure you've heard all of his blonde jokes by now. Man, I really didn't want to cry writing this, oh well...

I can't wait to see you, only 102 more years! I'm living until I'm 116, in case you didn't know... Tell everyone there I said hi, and I couldn't have asked for a better guardian angel.

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #8: Your Favorite Internet Friend

Dear Jillian,

I honestly just sit there sometimes and try to figure out how you get your blog to be so awesome, without even trying. Whenever you post some new awesome picture that you've edited I just think DANG! How does she do that?? I really hope that I can someday have 120 followers like you do. I'm sure it will take a lot of work... Like I said I still have no idea how you got that to happen.

So unfortunately we probably will never meet, mostly because you live at the other side of the country. I have been to Chicago once... and to tell you the truth I did NOT like it. There were so many homeless people that made me sad and it always smelt like tires, I guess that's just the country girl in me :)

Well, thanks for following my blog and for asking me so many questions on formspring because I have next to none. Looking forward to your next post!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #7: Your Ex-Boyfriend

Dear Dylan,

Oh boy... well I have a lot to say to you right now, that's for sure. Why can't you just say something? You have so much to say when you're texting me, but when I actually see you, nothing comes out of your mouth!! Oh well, I really think we should stay friends for a while. I'm really sorry if I hurt you when we broke up, there was so much going on and I was hearing all these crazy things about you and I just couldn't do it anymore... Well I really do hope that we can be friends and that you'll be able to say something at the dance. I know you'll text me soon so I'll talk to you then!

LoveLoveLove,

Paige

Letter #6: A Stranger

Dear Suspenders Guy,


So I saw you at the dance on saturday and my friend really wanted to dance with you. We had to keep tabs on you all night just to make sure she was in sight in case you wanted to dance with her! Maybe at one of the next dances you'll ask me or my friend to dance and then you won't be a stranger. Well, it looked like you had a fun time and that's a good thing... one question though, do you always where suspenders to the dances?


LoveLoveLove,
Paige
