I didn't think I'd make it, but here I almost have!

Surely you know what I'm talking about. Alexis is going to be home soon. And by soon, I mean SOON! At this point it feels like she was a figment of my imagination all along. She was an illusion of the perfect friend that was a danced like a marionette in front of my boggled eyes, only to disappear to Venezuela for the rest of her life. But it wasn't the rest of her life, and it wasn't even the rest of mine, AND SOON SHE'LL BE HOME!

It's been rough without you, dear, and none of us can wait to see your beautiful, smiling face again. I just hope you remember how to speak English.
