Anyway, I can’t wait for you to get this letter. I will write you a letter every day if I can.

Love you always,

Dear Drew,

I couldn’t wait to get your response, and to write to you again. I have BIG news! I’m going to be a big brother! How cool is that?

I’m really excited, but I think Aunt Barbara isn’t too happy. Not about having a baby living in her house, but because my mom won’t say who the daddy is. It has to be someone back in your neck of the woods, because the doctor told her she’s three months along.

I’m going to make sure my little brother or sister knows he or she doesn’t need a daddy to be a cool person. I never had a daddy and you think I’m cool. Right? You don’t have a daddy and I think you’re amazing.
