Dear Dako,
They told me not to write. But I know what’s true.
I remember your shovel. I remember Benny waiting by the door. I remember Micah’s drawing.
Paul and Alexa tried to take everything away. I hid this.
Benny is at the local shelter. I hope you’ll bring him.
For Micah, there’s a small trust. Not much—just something to remind him that kindness matters.
With love,
Lois
