DEAR JONATHAN,
I RESPECT YOUR DECISION TO CHANGE SPACES FOR THE TIME BEING. BUT I AM SADDENED BECAUSE THIS MEANS I WILL NOT GET A CHANCE TO SEE YOU BEFORE I LEAVE. SEE, I HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE UP TO SCHOOL EARLY, ON THE 20TH OF AUGUST. SO BY THE TIME YOU ARE SETTLED BACK INTO YOUR PLAYGROUND IN GRAND RAPIDS I WILL BE SAYING MY GOOD-BYES AND KISSING MY MOTHER. I HOPE YOU CAN RESPECT MY DECISION. FOR I TOO LONG FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW, A CHANGE OF PACE PER SE. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT JONATHAN THAT YOU COULD HAVE COME HOME TO CANTON THIS SUMMER AND BARELY SEEN A SOUL. I BELIEVE I HAVE PROVED THAT. THE ONLY TIME I REALLY IMMERSE MYSELF IN THE PUBLIC OF OTHER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES IS AT THE OCCASSIONAL MONDAY NIGHT BOWLING AND ITS BASICALLY TO HANG OUT WITH BG AND MARK JAMES AND STEVE RAPSON. BUT I HARDLY MAKE IT TO THAT ANYMORE. THESE LAST THREE WEEKS BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS WILL FLY BY I AM SURE AND I WILL NOT HEAR A SINGLE PEEP FROM HARDLY ANYBODY. BUT OF COURSE YOU DID NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE YOU MADE THE DECISION TO STAY IN GR FOR THE SUMMER, SOUNDING LIKE YOU ARE PERFECTING LONELINESS. I WORRY ABOUT YOU SOMETIMES JON! SOME DAY I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO GET A LETTER FROM YOU SAYING YOU MOVED ON AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU. BUT I DO NOT THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN. JON, I CHERISH OUR FRIENDSHIP AND I TRULY MEAN IT! ON A SOFTER NOTE I FELT WRITING THIS LETTER IN ALL CAPITALIZED LETTERS FOR...WELL I DO NOT KNOW, I JUST DID. I GUESS FOR THE PLAIN FACT THAT IT'S A NEW DAY AND IN SOME WAY I HOPE I'VE CHANGED A BIT SINCE THE LAST. BETTERED MYSELF IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, TO GET ANOTHER PART OF MY LIFE IN A SUCCINCT, WORKING ORDER. MAN, IT SURE IS HARD TO WRITE LIKE THIS THOUGH BECAUSE OF THE DARN PATIENCE IT REQUIRES. OH WELL, IT'S AN EXPERIMENT AND IT IS A LETTER TO YOU, JONATHAN. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY IN A LETTER BEING DIRECTED TO CAMP. SO I WILL END HERE AND NOW. BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOURS AND GOOD LUCK.
LOVE,
CHRISTOPHER"
