My dearest Will,

It was about 4 years ago when we first met at the reception. I receieved a big package delivered from the UK and was wondering “Will..Skinner..?Haven’t met him ?”and you appeared and said “Sorry~it’s an umbrella my sister sent me!” with your beautiful smile. Obviously, I already liked you from the moment. 

Even though I had a bad day, when I saw you in the office and had a small chat or even communicated through eyes with a quick you-ok? hand gesture (from you), it turned to be a great day. You cared about me as if I’d been your younger sister regardless our real age. 

Your lunch box, your white sweatshirt, your perfume, your beautiful house, your voice, your hug, your smile, your kindness, they are all so vivid and they will never fade.

You brought brightness into and melted my heart and you keep doing so. I know what you’re concerned about now is if everyone is ok. You want to make sure we are ok. It’s so you and honestly, what can we do without you..?  

On my last day in the office, when I was clearning my desk I found a sticky note from you in my drawer. I kept it for long time because it was treasure for me and I brought it back home and I still keep it with me. 

“Come to my place! I love you!” “I love you, too!” – that’s the last conversation on the day we had. Please let me tell you once more, I love you so much, Will. I want to see you. You’re my treasure. 

Even though I am crying, you in my heart smile beautifully as usual so I will stop crying and will talk to you and will share good moments with you from now.

I hope you’re now back home and you’re with your family who you love the most. I felt it when you showed me your mum’s picture, when you showed me tiny little things you bought for your neices…

Thank you for being you, thank you for caring about me, thank you for everything you’ve done for us. I love you. 

Till I see you again,  

Yukari
