A letter from Jan 14th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Hello. I am writing this letter to you as I sit at my desk on a Friday afternoon. It has been a while. I would like to write this letter to see how you are a year from now. There have been some difficult things happening in my life right now. First off, Bella has cancer. We found out in the last week of December 2021. Since then it has been up and down. She has started chemotherapy and has been getting treated but she continues to decline. It happened so fast. She can't walk without assistance, she has trouble eating and her mouth is all swollen. It is hard to look at her like this. She went from a healthy, active dog to a now older and more sad dog. I hate to see her suffer like this. The doctors said that if we don't see better results from her in a week that this may be the end. I am praying and hoping the chemotherapy will work. It is the only thing that can help her. I love her endlessly and am so thankful that I got to spend 9 years with her. I want her to get better and I hope she does, but if she doesn't, I don't want her to suffer. A year from now I have no idea how she will be, I hope she will be alive when this letter gets sent out to you. I just have to stay positive for her and continue to show her love. A year from now many things may change. How are you relationship wise? You have been struggling to find someone, I know how hard it is for you, but I am hoping you have found someone who is special in your life and treats you with the same amount of love and respect that you do to them. How are you with snowboarding? I have been snowboarding a lot recently and am getting so much better. I hope by this time next year you are way more comfortable and are learning to do more tricks! How about school? Right now I have no idea what I want to do with my life. There are so many things, it's all too much. I hope you have found an internship or a job that you enjoy and will help you succeed in your future. How is your TikTok account? Right now I have 213.3k followers and 2.5 million likes total. You must have way more followers and likes by now. Are you making money off of it as you dreamed of? Same as Twitch? Are you averaging more viewers? I hope so. I hope a year from now you are happier and have found love and direction in your life. I'm rooting for you. Love, Your past self, Gaby.
