Great Regulars: In this exercise, you're going to write

a letter to someone you have lost.

Any sort of "lost"- through death, distance, illness, accident or rage. Recently or years ago. A friend, a lover, a parent, a child. The first thing to do is to name the person and to think about him or her for a while. You might want to look at a letter or a photograph.
