My dear eric
Today, I finally turn five.
You are receiving this letter from a friend—someone you might dislike, someone you’ve fought with a thousand times, someone who may have hurt you deeply—but who loves you dearly.
Today is a day that begins with the words:
"I hate Asa."
"I hate Felix."
Today is the day a nine-year-old child begins a new life, though he doesn't realize it yet.
These are the memories that shaped my entire childhood.
Despite all the fights, my life before Ryan was black and white.
You were the one who brought it to life with color.
Don't get too full of yourself, though—
I still don't call you Ryan.
To me, you are still Eric.
A lovely little fox who—despite being a fox—made a pretty good cat (even if that doesn't make any sense).
You are, without a doubt, the greatest miracle of my life.
From your Asa, Nile
For my wonderful Eric.(اریک گشنگم):))
