To Handsome,After careful consideration, I humbly request that I return to our family home. We have lost enough in this family. More than enough. A loss of our relationship over pride is not worth it.
I understand if your answer is no, however I do wish to address the matter that our sisters have mentioned missing me. Pumpkin had missed me. I cannot bare the thought of losing another of my siblings with this gap between us. May we please forgive and forget?
With Love and Care,
Sweetie
