Sebastian,
It has been 60 days since we last spoke with each other. I can't believe you've been gone almost two months now; The pain still feels like yesterday. You and Sasha would be proud to know that tomorrow I am to be baptized. It is a shame I won't get to see your face during it, or hear Sasha speak of how much I had grown. I am sure Brother Grigore will say many lovely things but it won't be the same. I always imagined it being Sasha preforming the ceremony with you, Kerdic, Livvie, Tess, Simona and even Alin smiling on. Of all of who I knew in the faith when I fist arrived in Vallaki, only Tess is still around. So many I knew in these 7 months are gone, so many new faces, so many dead, so many moving on never coming back to see me. Even Cassie barely is around anymore.
I do not mean to sound like I do not appreciate all who will be there; I love our family here in Vallaki. They just do not know how much I have grown; how much this seven month trip has been. The other big news is Vilde and I are to wed after the baptism. Another event I had imagined you and Sasha to be at. It isn't going to be a big event but it will be nice to bring some happiness to our family, it always seems to be in such short supply. I should get back to my prayers for the evening Sebastian, you would not want me to shirk my preparations for my big day. I miss you Sebastian, I love you Sebastian. Flor.
