Hi, Charlie ~ ! I figured since you are the creator of the group, I should swing by and read some of your work. This was not the only one I've read, but I was looking for something more personal to read and review for "Invalid Item"  .
Letters seem pretty personal in my opinion anyway, even when you are writing to a complete stranger. You give out a lot about you in just the way you write a letter.
This letter was so very sad for me to read, even though it wasn't intended to be, at least I don't think it was. I know that it was a letter of appreciation to your oldest brother, who seems to have been a good influence in your life, even when he wasn't around. I wish I could say the same about my older sister. It's more so the other way around with her and I. Though I don't think I could ever write her a positive letter, EVER. Anyway, you show the reader how your brother was always there for you, no matter what, and your appreciation of him shines in this letter to him. I'm sure he knows you love him, but I'm sure he had no idea how much you wanted to be like him and looked up to him and you tell him all of this very well in your letter. I really just wanted to cry for you as you showed how vulnerable you were/are.
I enjoyed reading this personal letter written by you to your brother. Your emotions are strong, as they should be, as you are stronger than you may think of yourself. Thank you for sharing a little of you and your brother with us and I hope he knows how much you appreciate him and he is still there for you. As always, please do, Write On!
