I want to start by saying that I am so very sorry that it has taken half of your lifespan to finally sit down and write to you.

I have no words to express to you how exceedingly joyous that I am that I have been given an extension in my years and afforded this time to spend with you.

Like your siblings before you, I have learned a massive amount during your reign about life, love, birth, death, joy, and sorrow. Nonetheless, you have taught me that I needed to take off the cloak of co-dependency and step into a suit of armor. Your extraordinarily genius advice gave birth to the new me. I have you to thank, for I now wake each morning feeling ready to face each day with you.

If you would, when you are ready to hand over your crown to 2021, give it my regards and that I look forward to our meeting. If 2021 is half as marvelous to me as you have been, I will most assuredly be one of the happiest people on earth.

Most gratefully yours,

Dawn
