Dear Leaves,

    It's been a while. I hope everything is going well at the center. Sorry about the whole mess with the termination. I really appreciate what you and Gryps did for me. I know it was rough. I'll never forget those days. They changed the way I looked at the world. Molly is doing a good job. No worries here beyond the day to day. I feel more in control of my destiny, though emotional regulation and people skills are still a work in progress. I really admire the work you did. It took a lot of courage. I struggled so intensely, but we were strong together. I kept you safe from the darkness. It was hard. But I held it back as best I could. 

Yours,

Ashes
