Dear Ruby,
I am really sorry that you are feeling sad. It must be very hard when your best friend moves to another city, your sister, Vivian, is leaving for college and your Grandpa has passed away. That is a lot to go through and it is okay to feel upset and lost.
But, please remember you are not done. I am your friend and I care about you. If you ever feel the need to talk, I will always be here to listen. We can spend time together during recess or after school. Maybe we can read books, draw, play games or just sit and talk. Being with someone who cares can help a little.
School may feel hard right now, but don’t give up. You are smart, kind and strong even if you don’t feel that way right now. I believe you can get through this. Things will get better, one small step at a time.
Please don’t sneak out of school. Talk to someone, I will be here for you always.
Your friend,
Maayra
