Letter Home wrote:Everyone understands that while going to camp at some point
they will ask you to write a letter back home. And most people
will write to their closest family member or whoever told them
it would be a good idea to go to camp. So, while I sit here and
write this, I should be writing to my girlfriend. But here I am
writing to my parents… I just hope the counselors don’t double
check the addresses on the envelopes. But here goes –Dear Mom and Dad,
I realize that is has been awhile since we last spoke, and I feel
like I need to begin this letter with an I miss you. Because I do.
I miss you both oh so much, and I can’t believe it’s been years
since I last got to see you or even speak with you. I do want you
to know that I am enjoying my time here at camp. I’m loving all
the people I’ve met and even all the ridiculous activities. I came
to camp believing that it would be stupid and pointless, but I
have loved every minute of it. It has been a truly magical
experience. However, I am glad that everyone has been nice and
tried to make this an enjoyable experience. Please remind me
when I get home to thank my girlfriend for encouraging this
little escapade.
I just can’t get over how much I miss you guys… And I can’t
wait until I can see you guys again, but you know I’ve never
been very good at talking about my experiences or even
about myself, so I’m just going to leave it at that. I love camp,
and I love you both. Can’t wait to see you guys again.
Much Love,
Your Son
Leaving the letter short and sweet always seemed to be my go-to.
But I still couldn’t get over the paranoia that the counselors would
check the addresses to these letters… Even though it’s been years,
and you would think by now that I’d be over it, but I would never
be able to explain why I chose to send my letter home to the cemetery.
Hey mom.... Hey dad... Hey auntie... I am writing this letter to inform you of my camp adventures.
So.... Camp has been.. how do I say it? "Fun". The most fun i've had in awhile anyway. I have met the other campers. Each camper I have seen so far has been pretty excited. Usually I would put a "smile" on my face and pretend to have fun. Sometimes, I do. My favorite activity so far has been the rock climbing. Archery is also nice. Both help bring out something in me I haven't really seen before. Sometimes, when activities aren't being held, we head to the mess hall to have something to eat. Pileus cooks for us. I don't exactly like his attitude, but I feel something similar. Although working for the s'mores wasn't fun, it was rewarding in the end. I decided to try bug catching, but I didn't really enjoy it much. Almost tripped. I do have to say, the counselor and co-counselor seemed friendly. During archery, I almost shot someone! Guess I got too carried away. Enough about me. How are you dad? I'm starting to miss you and those hunting lessons you gave me every weekend. Mom. I miss those herbal teas you would give me. You always made my favorite, peppermint tea. We would head out in the yard, and when you found peppermint leaves, you would say "Thyme, look! Peppermint! Come on in for the tea!". Dad would always get the honey from the beehives, and get stung every time. I know i know, I haven't been gone for that long. It just feels like that. Sweet, sweet auntie. You are my favorite family member (sorry mom and dad >.<). You were with me through the tough times. You were always there when mom and dad wasn't. You would listen to me, and always knew my problems. Get ready, when I get home, I have more. Ugh, i'm just rambling now. I guess i'll end the letter here, otherwise I might need more paper, and this is already long. Mom, dad, I will apologize when I get home. You know why. All in all, kamp camp is sorta fun. I'll see you when I get home.
Love your only child, Thyme.

their letter to home:
heya sis!
im,, surprisingly, having a great time here! I know I was reluctant to go, but even though I hate to say it, mom and dad were right to send me anyway. everynight we gather around the campfire and sing, and for a few short hours, everyone forgets all the problems of yesterday and the pain of today to just, sing and eat marshmallows and, and honestly, to just enjoy life! living, breathing, along with all of these great kalons! seriously, i've never ever ever met a friendlier bunch! and you would be so proud, sis, I actually made a few friends! I guess my favorite thing about this camp is sleeping under the stars. there's nothing more peaceful than watching the beautiful night sky and listening to owls as you drift off, free of worry. and grief. love, krissy
Kris took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. "sis," she whispered to herself, "why did you leave us? don't you know how hard it is to go on without you?" She pocketed her letter, heading off to the rec center.
