The Perkins Letters

Best friend with benefits

I am including the next letters- it actually was written the day I left Tiffany to go to NC for 3 weeks to visit my dad. Remember, we do not know that we both love each other at this point. I still thought she was my very best friend, who I loved to pet my head for hours and who I slept with every night. Normal stuff, you know. :) I have no idea what I wrote in her yearbook that I wanted her to read so badly. Also, we were obsessed with The Little Prince, which is why I draw roses all over her letters.

I’m not sure if I told you all this, but I did contact Tiffany and ask permission to share our story. She has been very gracious and told me to “share away”. I would never have done this project if she wasn’t comfortable with this. She and I, although don’t talk much anymore, still hold each other in the highest esteem (or at least I do for her). Even though we did not end up together, I am so happy she is happy and will forever be grateful that I had her to come out of the closet with!

Tif, Kara Healey and me, Varsity Girls Basketball. I was the manager so I could travel with them to away games since Tif’s mom wouldn’t let us see each other outside of school.
