Ella Erson

Dear Ella Erson,

I've liked your hair since the first day of school. I think I can tell that you have a really sweet spirit.
I have not ever talked to you, but a few weeks ago while reading your blog I had a huge realization (Which will sound silly & maybe make me sound simple) I realized that people are more intrinsically involved with one another than they think. Sometimes I might be living a life quite similar to a girl i'm too shy to talk to, and I never tell her I like her shirt with flowers on it because I think we must be so different. But Ella, we are not.

I read and read and tried to understand you, and how you feel. The more I read I began to connect, and I liked the things you have written.
And then, I read the one that I am assuming is about your mama. The one about how she is sick and things are so hard for you.

My mama has been bed ridden since I was about 3 years old because she has Interstitial Cystitis.

I know all about what it's like to worry about your mama, and have to grow up real quick and start doing things that a wife would normally do around the house.

I know the pressure and the sorrow.

And these are just assumptions I have made because of reading your blog.

I just think you are special. You are beautiful and I'm here to congratulate you for going on and running the race that is life.

You're a good lady.

and I like your hair.

and I have something to give you in class.
