Today there’s been a loss in my family. And it’s the first time I’m actually realizing my life could change in only one night.
This year has been incredible for me, I have been able to connect with other long time family members with whom I’ve spent the best times of my life so far.
You and I had planned on meeting each other. As I was growing up I felt closer and closer to you each year. I wanted you to be part of my life. My mom told me so many good things about you. It’s like I’ve known you since I was born.
I have been able to meet up with you on little occasions here and there but I’ve somehow never been able to really get to know you. You never really cared about all these family events. You’ve always been doing your thing on the side not listening to anyone else.
This year I met an old cousin of yours with whom you had troubles with a few years ago. Apparently your relationship is still a bit tense. So as I told you, I met him last September and I couldn’t leave him. He’s cool. I didn’t know he was family before he welcomed me to his place. His hospitality was beyond imagination. He’s helped me accomplish so many things and I grew up thanks to his advice. I was excpecting you to do this job, but it turns out you never did and you never will.
I don’t think you realize how much important you were to me and the rest of the family.
Would you have stayed if the cousins and I had told you, we loved you and we wanted you in our lives ?
Did you want me to tell you ‘I love you’ ?
If you want to know I was planning on coming to your place by surprise next April and stay with you for a while. But I don’t know if it’s gonna be possible now.
The question I’ve been asking myself since I woke up and heard the news is…
‘What now ?’. What’s gonna happen now that you left us. Are your brothers and sisters gonna stay ? You were one of the most influencial ones in the family, so is our family going to implode and divide now ?
I miss you England…

Today the results of referundum came out… And it hurts. So many of you decided to leave the EU. I don’t think you realize what a big mistake this is. Just think about the amount of work your administration is gonna have to go through. Think about the european people living in England, helping your economy, are they gonna have to leave ? Think about your mates living in countries like France, Germany and Spain, are they gonna have to leave us ?
Nobody wanted you to leave but you did anyway. I guess you’re living and doing things the way you’ve always done them, listening to nobody except yourself and doing things the other way around.
Europe has been helping you more than you think for the past decades, leaving us was a really bad decision and you’re gonna realize this in a few years.
I already miss you Elizabeth…

Yours Sincerely
