Hello! Welcome to Letters Lane. I'm Sophia.
Tonight, from this little room, I'd like to sharea letter with you.
Here, we take a quiet moment away from the noiseof everyday life
and open a letter filled with thoughts that mayhave never been fully spoken.
Tonight's letter is for someone who shared a smallbut unforgettable part of childhood,
an older sister figure, someone whose kindnessstayed behind long after the years moved on.
Let's open today's letter together.
Some people pass through our lives for only ashort time,
yet somehow they leave footprints that neverdisappear.
This letter is not about sadness or regret. It'ssimply a wish.
I wish that someone important is living well,
smiling often, and finding happiness wherever lifehas taken them.
This is a letter to an older sister rememberedwith gratitude.
To My Big Sister, Who Played With Me Dear Big Sis,
Hey! I was thinking about you today. It happensevery now and then.
A certain breeze, a sunset, a laugh I hearsomewhere, and suddenly, memories come back.
Not the details really, just the feeling.
The feeling of running around without a care inthe world, knowing you were there.
Back then, I never thought much about it. I guesskids rarely do.
But looking back now, I realize how much yourkindness meant.
You made ordinary days feel safe. You made smallmoments feel brighter.
And somehow, those little things stayed with meall these years.
Life has taken us in different directions. That'swhat happens.
People grow up. They move, change, and build livesof their own.
But every so often, I find myself wondering howyou're doing.
I hope you're happy. I hope you're surrounded bygood people.
I hope there are still things that make you laughuntil your stomach hurts.
Most of all, I hope you're taking care ofyourself.
There's no special reason for writing this. No bignews, no dramatic story.

Just a simple thought I wanted to send into theworld.
Thank you, for the time we shared. For the smiles.For being part of those days.
You may not even realize how much those momentsmeant, but they stayed with me.
And I wanted you to know that.
So wherever life has taken you, I hope it's beenkind.
And I hope tomorrow brings you something good.
Take care, big sis. I'm rooting for you. Always.
Sometimes, gratitude doesn't arrive with grandwords.
Sometimes, it quietly follows us through theyears.
A familiar laugh. A warm memory. A person we hopeis doing well.
The song you're about to hear was inspired by thefeelings inside today's letter.
Its title is, Wherever You Are.
Please enjoy.
Hey big sis, have you been?
A summer wind across the street takes me backwithout a sound
To a time when life was small and every day feltwide somehow
Running through the afternoon, chasing shadows inthe light
I didn't know it then, but those days stayed withme
Years go by, people change, but some hearts neverfade
Wherever you are, you're still a part of the sky
It carries my thoughts, hope they find whereveryou are
Sometimes when the evening falls and the citystarts to slow
06:00
Sun's drifting in like a song I used to know
Not because I'm holding on or wishing for the past
Just because some people leave a light that alwayslasts
Though we're far and time moves on, some feelwherever wind whispers
Weep on shine, that's all I am
Goodbye, no tears, just gratitude
And if someday we look at the same, be wishingbest for you
Hey big sis, thank you for spending this time withme on Letters Lane.
If today's letter reminded you of someone special,
perhaps take a moment to think of them tonight.
Some feelings don't need an occasion, sometimesit's enough just to remember.
Until next time.
The next letter arrived that night.
This is Sophia from Letters Lane.
Good night.
