Printable Elf On Shelf Goodbye Letter Novels & Stories

Glitter spilled out onto his jeans. "Oh god," Elion groaned. "It's everywhere. It's the herpes of craft supplies." "I will get the vacuum," Cale said, starting to stand up. "Sit down, Cale. It's fine. Just listen to this." Elion unfolded the letter. "Dear Elion and Cale," Elion read. "I read the book. I just wanted to say thank you. I felt like I was drowning for a long time, just like Elion. And I felt like I had to be strong all the time, just like Cale. Reading your story... it made me feel like maybe I don't have to be strong every second. Maybe it's okay to let someone else carry the umbrella."

I think that is a beautiful name. I will not be there to see her grow. But I will be watching. From somewhere. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for holding my hand at the end. Thank you for being you. Goodbye. Derek I read the letter twice. I handed it to Eli. He read it. He handed it to Luca. Luca read it. His eyes were wet. Claire asked if I was okay. I said yes. She left. The door closed. I put the letter in the box. I put the box on the shelf.

She nodded, satisfied, and returned to her letter to the concept of Santa. After the children were in bed, the three of us sat at the kitchen table amid the evidence of the letter-writing session, stray pieces of paper and a glitter pen that Eli had borrowed from Hope and used, briefly, to add what he described as decorative elements to his letter before deciding the decorative elements were distracting from the content and removing them. "She's nine," Killian said, into the comfortable quiet, which was becoming something of a refrain. "She's been nine for two months," Kade said. "She was like this at eight. I suspect she was like this at seven. I think this is simply who she is."

"Since we can't say everything we want to, and there is not enough time, and also because we want these last days to be a happy one, each of us will write a letter for you." "A letter?" Kira asked, taken aback. "Oh," she muttered as the realization hit her. "A letter." "Yes. You can read it when you…" Elara stopped for a moment, the words hard to say. She swallowed hard before her throat started working again. "You can read it when you leave. It's… a part of us." Everyone else, hearing this, simply nodded in understanding, and so did Kira. She gave a small, shaky nod, pressing her lips together as she watched as each of them tore a sheet of paper, picked up their pens, and started writing.

I looked around the room defeated and saw a white envelope at the bedside table. It was open but empty inside. The stamps were addresses to her and I saw another folded paper hidden behind the lamp. I opened it slowly and calmly as I got ready to see what the contents were. Why did I have the feeling that this letter has everything to do with this. I Unfolded it slowly until it was straight and sat on a good position. Dear Elaine I'm not sure why I should write this to you but I guess it's because the unsaid goodbyes are the worst, at least I owe you this farewell.

Please forgive me, I plead with you a thousand times. Finally, I wish you happiness, even though it is not with me." That was it. The letter. It was a goodbye, different from what she had gotten on his wedding day to Aniya. This was finally a goodbye they were both contented with. She thought about not sending anything back, but it made her think that he would believe Eli didn't give her the letter. That would not be good. So, with Eli's help in offering her writing materials, she wrote something back.

Reading through all of them, she saw that the last one was a bit different. It read: Here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after. Signed: Eli (Chief Planner!)

Her eyes, clear and bright, held a quiet strength, as if she was determined not to appear weak. It was the first time she had shown the world her bare head. No beanie. No filters. Just the raw, unfiltered truth. It was as if she had chosen to say goodbye to the world with complete honesty. The letter itself had been handwritten, then photographed and uploaded for everyone to see. “Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Today is a time to give thanks and welcome new beginnings. Unfortunately, I won’t be around to see mine. Tonight, I say goodbye to everything I’ve known.”

Just then, there was a knock at the door. “Come on in..” i answered. It was one of the maids. “You have a letter.” She said. Handing over a finely designed envelop with a ribbon around it. I rolled my eyes as i tore open the package. “Well, mom and dad are inviting us over to celebrate thanksgiving.” I read out loud amused. “Over a written letter.” “How traditional.” I said,sinking into the couch. “Oh..” i smiled weakly. Derrick must have swapped our phones carelessly i thought as i picked up his phone tossed in the couch.

This will come as a shock and I am sorry that my only way of saying goodbye is through a letter, but we both know that you would never allow this. While I’m gone, please let our beautiful children Cato, Mathias, Silas, Francesca, Marie and Lili know that their mother loves them and give them extra kisses from me every night. It pains me to leave you all and I don't know how far in the future my return will be, but just know I have to do this for you and everyone in the pack. So until we meet again, Ella A tear dropped off my cheek and onto the paper, splurging some of the ink. I wiped my face with the back of my hand and before any more damage could be done, left the letter laying on his des
