Jolie’s Letter:
Hello little darlings, this is your auntie Jolie. I’m a really good friend of your uncle Serge. He mentioned this project to me and I thought the idea was so cute so I wanted to send you all a letter. He talks about you all the time. I think it’s so sweet. He told me once that he doesn’t need kids of his own because he’s got y’all. I don’t know if he really means that, I hope he doesn’t, but it tells me how much you mean to him and that’s so important to me. You know I met your uncle at a birthday party for Shane, I think. It was the summer. Your uncle and your mommys and daddys had rented out part of our patio to celebrate and you all were there, so I have met you. I was one of the hostesses at the restaurant, I took you to your table. Your uncle asked me for my number. He was so sweet. He didn’t call for a while and when he did I was so happy, I thought he’d forgotten. I’ve never met anyone like him. He’s just amazing. Handsome and always so happy. He’s so articulate. I haven’t had a chance to see him recently since we are all under quarantine. We’ve always been a little off and on. I just realized the other day that we’ve been seeing each other off and on for five years. I can’t believe it. Five years. I miss him. Not having someone right now is hard. I mean I have friends, of course, but they’re taking it all very seriously too. So it’s just me. The fact that you are all quarantining together is so sweet. And you’re kids, so hopefully most of this won’t even matter to you since you don’t have a whole lot to compare it to. I hope so. Maybe you are getting on each other’s nerves, but at least you aren’t lonely. These screens we use to be with one another weren’t designed for long term isolation. My little brother plays a lot of video-games and his controllers vibrate when he falls or gets hit or whatever and I wish they had designed Zoom that way. When someone whispered I wish a little fan would flutter in your ear. Or there was an emoji you could use for a hug and the chair you’re sitting in would squeeze you. I think it’s been almost three months since I hugged someone. And I’m a hugger! So it hurts. I’m not complaining. I just think you all are so lucky, that’s all. I know it may not feel that way sometimes, but you are. You really are. There are a lot of people that love you. Take care of each other.
