I’m sure you already know this, but I also wanted to tell you that you have the most amazing parents a girl could wish for. You were conceived from the most powerful love I have ever seen in my life Angelica, and no child was ever more wanted by her parents than you were. When you’re fifteen and it feels like they’re only aim in the world is to ruin your life try and remember that.
In this situation I feel like maybe I’m supposed to give you some sort of important advice. I don’t really know if I’m qualified to give anybody advice if it’s not about their tennis game. What I will share with you are three things that I wish I had realised earlier in my life.
Firstly, love yourself. Take the time to find out who you truly are. I already know that you are going to grow up to be an amazing person, believe that about yourself, embrace everything about yourself it all goes into making you the individual that you are. If you can truly love yourself it will be so much easier to love others and to let them love you.
Next, be aware of the fact that you have been born into the most incredible family possible. You’re lucky, you started off with them, the rest of us spent years looking for them. That should tell you all you need to know about them really. The rest of us had to search for a family and when we found yours we knew we were home.
Finally and possibly most important for you at the moment – Aunty Alice cheats. Count the cards before you start to play with her, don’t ever let her distract you during a game; make sure she doesn’t have a secret extra stash of monopoly money in her pocket before you start to play. She’ll try anything and if she bats her eyelids at you and pouts and says something like “ I can’t believe you’d accuse your earth mother of something like that, I’m so hurt” you look her straight in the eye and tell her “Aunty Dana told me you’d say that – you’re busted!”
I wish I was going to get to watch you grow up little one. I wish you a healthy happy life. Look after your moms and your aunts for me and I’ll be there looking out for you – Angelica’s own personal angel.
All my love
Aunty Dana

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!! That was incredibly well written…your insight into these characters really helped me to process so much of the hurt and pain they experienced and inflicted on each other. And Dana’s words could not have been written any better. They were both wise and funny. Again…WOW! I was truly blown away by your writing…by your thought process. Home run all the way! Thank you.
Since Tina read Dana’s letter I’ve been skimming the other chapters waiting for this one. I am glad Bette and Tina are finally starting to understand that the things they did to each other were slated to happen and nothing they could have done would have changeed the outcome. Maybe if they can forgive the people they were they can truely move on. Wether that is together or apart that remains to be seen (when they stop pretending that they don’t have very strong feelings for each other hopefully it will be together.) We still need to read thier individual letters and see what Dana left them in the boxes so ppvs.
You know, I haven’t commented on this story before, but I have been following it faithfully. It is an amazing piece of writing, very profound, very tender.
Dana, Dana. *sigh* I’m glad Dana addressed them both individually as well as together. The letters, as Seahurst said, couldn’t have been written any better, and the one to Angie was especially touching. Bette opening up to Tina was something that’s needed to happen. The way she handled it speaks volumes for how much she’s grown. We’ll see how Tina reacts once she’s had time to mull it over. Fantastic, wonderingaloud. More when you can. Thanks.
I totally agree with B, long distance relationship does not work and she could not relocate. Jodi needed to accommodate if she wanted to be around. I was totally blown away by the letter to Angelica. Great wisdom and warning Angelica about A cheating was so priceless. I can’t wait to read letters to B & T. Again, I think you are doing great justice to give us closure to D’s death. I find myself missing her even more as I read your story. It is really poignant. Fantastic job!!! Thank you.
hi,thanks for your kind words.this story is just…..amazing you are at the top of one of my favorite writers,can’t wiat for the next one
Seahurst said it better than any of us could. It was sad and also funny PPS thanks
speechless, truly incredible writing!! it was nice to see bette so open with tina!!! and Fcuk jodie that little prissy ass bitch. she knew the deal with bette before getting involved with her!! can you tell i don’t like jodie and bette together,lol….PPS
Hey, well after 40 hrs my head is no longer exploding, think they are still moping up my brain @ work..noisy resturants..not best place to be with liquidfy brain.lol. But to the important things…GREAT chapter, it never even occured to me about a letter to Angel, so that was to sweet! And really..Aunt Alice cheats, still chuckling over that one.
Thats was great what a great way to get bette and tina talking can’t wait to see what will happen next but please post soon great update I love this story
Wow again, what a brilliant piece of writing – who would have thought that our Dana could be so wonderfully deep and thoughtful with her letters. I am truly in awe of this story and can’t wait to see what happens next.
i’m so touched by this chapter. dana is my favorite character and i feel so bad that they have killed her. when the show is centered on the love, i really expect to see the friendship between the gangs, but really, not so much friendship on the show. your story lead me to a deep thought of friendship, and how beautiful it is. i always love the friendship between alice/ dana and shane, they are very different in personality, but they together are really click. how sad when i read dana’s letter to angelica… wonder what she wrote to carmen and if that would help shane and carmen’s relationship. also i love the flashback of alice/ dana and shane, they should had some intense moment only between them and i’d love to explore about it. thanks for the update and please post soon!!
Okay I adore this story, seriously. Glad you agree with me on Bette and Jodi really making no sense together, haha. Both of them need to just chalk it up to a good time and a fling and quit trying to make it into an epic love story, it’s a little stupid. I adore the Dana you’re bringing to life through the letters, and seriously, I’m way jealous that you write so well.
hey! wonderfully written as always:D It’s really sad the way Angelica will grow up without her auntie Dana by her side. It would’ve been nice if Dana would be the one to teach her tennis:( hopefully her mothers and her aunties will start talking about auntie Dana more soon or she won’t know her at all. Thanks for updating! PPS:D
Fantastic writing, as always. Dana’s letter have just inspired everyone to be reflective and honest about their lives. Her letters have sparked some heartfelt and true communication among our ladies. I love your treatment in this story. Bette is having some moments of clarity with Shane and Tina and more honest communication with Tina and Jodie. I really don’t see how Bette and Jodie’s relationship will survive. I love Dana’s letter to Angelica and the fact that Aunty Dana is her angel. Thanks for your update. PPS.
Great update, wondering! Love the part about Aunty Alice cheating. So much growth going on with all the characters. Alice is not the only one who had part of their life on hold. I wonder if the girls would have ever processed their feeling about Dana without these letters. Thanks for the story! PPS!!
