Dear Sam,
There is a moment in every life that defines, shapes, transcends your previous spirit, molding you as if from newborn clay. Itâs come for me. I have changed, and that change is irreversible.
Sam, thereâs no doubt anymore. Iâm losing my mind. The shooting is haunting me. The horror of your loss, of who Iâve become, all of it is too much. Iâm not sure how much longer I can stand to go on like this, trapped under glass, trapped away from everyone. Iâm lost.
