26 Cecelia Ahern
Rosie,
I didn’t want to wake you so your mum said she would pass this on to
you. You know I hate goodbyes and it’s not goodbye anyway because you’re
going to come over and visit all the time. Promise me.
I have to go . . . I’ll miss you. Ring you when I get there.
Love,
Alex
PS: I told you, I was awake that Christmas Eve, my battery just
went dead on my walkie talkie ...(and I did see Santa, I’ll have you know).
Alex,
Good luck little brother. Don’t worry, you’ll enjoy yourself once you get
there and I can’t wait to come and visit. I’ll miss you all. It won’t be the same
without you. Stop worrying about Rosie, her life’s not going to fall apart just
because you’re not in the same country. But if it’ll make you feel any better
I’ll look out for her for you—she almost feels like my little sister in a way. By
the way if Sandy doesn’t learn how to control her bladder in this house then
I’m sending her over to you on a plane.
We’ll miss you,
Phil. (+ Margaret)

Stephanie
Urgent sisterly advice needed
I can’t believe he’s gone Steph. I can’t believe you’re gone. Why is everyone
leaving me? Surely you could have “found yourself” a little closer to
home? But France? Alex has only been gone a few weeks and I feel like he’s
dead, which is an absolutely awful thing to think, I know, but it just feels
that way...
Why did he have to break up with Slutty Bethany just two weeks before
he left? Then I wouldn’t have gotten used to him being around so much
again. Things really got back to normal, Steph. It was brilliant. We spent
every second together . . . literally. We had so much fun!
