Dear Spencer,

I'm so sorry. I heard what happened and up until this point, I judged you. I had just heard stories from Caroline and she made you seem like a complete jerk. And that's what I thought you were. But now my view on you has changed. I am so sorry for ever judging you.

Truthfully, I don't actually know you. I've never formally met you. I just know that right now, you need someone to lean on.

I heard from Fiona that your mom died. She told me that your mom had been battling cancer for ten years. I am so sorry to hear that.

Fiona also told me that you have two younger brothers, one of which has random outbursts of anger. I know it will be hard for your dad to take care of you boys without your mom there to help.

I know it will be hard for all of you without your mom. Now, I could tell you that everything will be okay, that she's in a better place now, or that you'll get to see her again someday, but I know that's not going to help you.

So I'm here to say that even though I don't know you, I still care and I'm still praying for you.

Sincerely,

A friend
