Dear Kat,
I know that this letter is a bit late in getting to you... but hey, no one has perfected time travel yet right? If I could send this back in time, I would tell you to keep your head up. Stay strong. I know that you will make it through. And no, you cannot change the past no matter how hard you might try. Some things are best left alone, some things are best left unsaid. And I am betting that no matter how many times you might wish it.. you wouldn't change a thing. Going through all of life's experiences is what made you the strong woman that you... we... are today. I wish that there was some way to save you from the heartache that will bestow you.. but that is inevitable. Everyone on the planet will have heartache at some point in time, you cannot fight it, you cannot prevent it. It is in the human nature to feel pain, inflict it. You will find love or what you may believe is love but you are wrong. When you are a teenager, you feel things much differently than when you are an adult. The intense feelings that you might have felt for Tanner, Aaron, Chris, and some of the other guys that you dated... were nothing compared to what you will eventually feel for your husband. George is a wonderful man. I know that it wasn't what the 'matchmaker" game told you that your husbands name would be but he is wonderful in every sense of the word. He will make you feel whole.. complete in every way. You will change all of your views on marriage and children and accept things with such a grace that would make your family proud. Oh, and speaking of family.. you and your brother will not always be the way that you are now. You will not think that he is the spawn of satan for long. The fighting will end and you will become best of friends! Your big brother will become your idol.. you will eventually regret ever hurting each other and aspire to make each other proud. Oddly enough... most of your childhood fantasies and dreams will come to an end and you will find new dreams. Your goals in life will completely change from being such a selfish and self centered individual to being centered around a loving home for your children... yes, I said children. Don't pass out on me now! You will have children... I won't tell you how many because then you would pass out... but hey, you will love them all in their own way! They are the highlight of you life and I don't want you to ever forget that! Well, I suppose that I should bring this letter to a close before I spill my guts and tell you about EVERYTHING that is going to happen from then until now. So, take care in everything that you do and remember... your family will ALWAYS stand by your side no matter what you do.

Love yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
Always..... Forever,
Kat
