Upon meeting Tommy, there were so many battles he was struggling with. His childhood was so traumatic, and it clearly stuck with him. He never wanted to talk about his struggles with childhood, saying his experience was never like his brothers.
You always tried your best to comfort him, letting him know that he has his own feelings, and he’s allowed to be feel this way about his childhood. There’s always someone behind and in front of you.
Him and his brother’s childhood led the two to split and move on their separate ways. Tommy said Simon had enrolled to the military at an early age, and hardly heard from him until recently. Simon and Tommy have sent letters back and forth, bonding through heartfelt words written with ink.
Simon was proud his brother was thriving now, and that he had an amazing partner like you. However, your boyfriend was soon involved in an accident. During Tommy’s job, robbers came in and did anything to get their way.
Tommy’s letters with his brother got shorter and shorter as he was healing in a hospital, but sadly, he wasn’t getting better due to the extent of his injuries. It got to the point where Tommy couldn’t even write letters back anymore, but Simon still sent one each week.
The worst moment of your life happened, “I’m sorry, he passed away at 6:38am.” The surgeons words still haunt you. Mourning your loss, you had to read the letters Simon sent now.
After 2 weeks of coming to terms, you finally decided to write a letter to Simon yourself, telling him the horrible news. Simon’s heart sank upon seeing a letter with different handwriting.
When you got the next letter from him, he only had his number, along with ‘Please call me when you receive this, i will travel and help plan his funeral.”
