To Be Opened on or after March 1 st , 2023, not a second sooner…
Dear Sena,
DID YOU ACTUALLY WAIT TO READ THIS UNTIL MARCH??? My guess is no. My guess is, it is October 15th , 2022 and you’ve just received something in the mail from Kiki. It’s these letters from your bestest friends. The message clearly says to open each letter on the month printed on the outside of the envelope. You laugh and without skipping a beat proceed to open all letters. Am I right?! If you actually did wait to read this, I commend you! If you waited, then it is sometime in March of 2023. I’m back in October of last year and wondering if you’ve developed your British accent yet. Do you have a new flat? Do you drink tea? Who do you miss the most? Me? Kiki? Lauren? I’m sitting here today in October with an 18-week-old baby in my belly. By the time you read this, I will either be wishing this baby was no longer in my belly or holding a fresh newborn in my arms. THAT IS WILD! Just thinking about this now actually make me a little sad because it will be harder for you to come visit and meet him. You are the best Auntie and babies just love you and feel so comfortable in your arms. I can’t wait for you to meet my little guy. He will love you so much! I really can’t believe you are leaving New York and moving to London in a few short days. It definitely has not set in. I’m sure you are feeling much the same. Instead of being sad and wish this wasn’t how things turned out, I’ll chose to think of this as an exciting adventure for you. One that will teach you a lot about yourself, force you to step outside your comfort zone a bit and learn about a new culture. Maybe you end up loving it there and want to stay forever. I hope not, but I really do hope the time you spend there is enjoyable. Plus, you’re a boss, literally. You’ve got a bad ass job and they are going to want you back stateside quick. I hope you enjoy the time you get to spend with your sister, that you keep saying yes to new adventures and trying new things, you make a few British friends, and get to host K2 in the coming months. I miss you already so I’m sure I miss you a whole heck of a ton in March. I’m proud of you. Proud of how you’ve handled this big transition. Proud of how you continue to overcome challenges, heal through losses, and show up for the loved ones in your life. You’re a really special person and an amazing friend. I’m so very happy that Norell plucked us from the Facebook pool of incoming freshman to live in her 4HO2 suite at Bryant. It was meant to be! Maybe even serendipity. I love you and miss you so much. Sending a million hugs.
