+Dear Sakura

+Dear Sakura-chan,
+	I hope my letter reaches you well. It must be thrilling to be
+starting off on your new life with Li-kun in Hong Kong. I’m sure that
+the two of you will have many joyous days ahead as you explore your
+wedded bliss. Li-kun is truly a lucky man to have captured the heart
+of my beautiful best friend. I’m sending along a copy of the
+videotape I took of the wedding along with this letter. I’m sorry I
+didn’t catch the very end. I wasn’t feeling very well so I had to
+hurry home. But I
+think I caught the best parts of the wedding. Thank you again for
+letting me design your dress for your most important of days. You
+looked simply gorgeous. I think I can die a happy woman now that I’ve
+finally designed your wedding dress. But now that the honeymoon has
+been over for a while, how is life in Hong Kong? What are your plans?
+Do you think there are any children on the way? If you need any help
+with anything, please remember that I’m only a phone call away. I
+could always take a few weeks off of work if you do wind up needing
+any help
+with children anytime in the near future. But I’m sure that won’t be
+necessary. Li-kun has a lot of family there to begin with, so you
+would probably have more than enough help. I’m sure any children the
+two of you do have in the coming years would be wonderful, shining
+images of their mother.
+	Not much has been happening here in Tomoeda. It’s been much too
+quiet without my favorite Card Mistress’s genki energy filling
+life’s everyday experiences. I’ve gone to work for my mother at
+Daidouji Toys and that has been going very well. I’m working as the
+head of design for a few different projects. One of the dolls we have
+planned is based a little on my sketches of you and some of your
+costumes. I hope Sakura-chan doesn't mind. I’ll send you one of the
+dolls as soon as we start producing them. Mother has been joking
+about retiring early and handing over control of the company to me,
+but I really don’t think I have enough experience yet. I get to see
+her more often now, so
+that’s a joy that makes going to work every morning very worthwhile.
+I still have some time to sing, but usually when I’m at home at night
+alone. It’s nice to lose myself in the music. It usually helps me
+relax after work. Sometimes I find myself sewing a design I had in my
+mind, but I all too soon remember that you’re not here to model it.
+My mind must be traveling too much to do such a silly thing. I can
+almost imagine you giggling behind me when I finally realize what I’m
+doing.
+	I’d like to tell you what happened to your other friends, but I’m
+afraid I really haven’t kept in touch very well with Rika-chan and
+the others. The last I had heard, Chiharu-chan was going to get
+married to Yamazaki-kun. They must have decided to follow in your
+footsteps, Sakura-chan. I had heard a strange rumor that Nakuru-san
+had been dating Naoko-chan, but I can’t tell if it’s just a rumor or
+not. Though it certainly would be nice to know that everyone’s
+finding someone these days.
+	I’m sure you already know about Touya-san and Tsukishiro-san and
+your father, so I won’t go into all of that, though I try to keep in
+touch occasionally. I tried to explain to Touya-san why you and Li-
+kun belong together, but I don’t think he understood. I’m sure he’ll
+come around in time. And please ignore whatever he has said about me
+recently. I’m sure Touya-san’s just overexaggerating. He and
+Tsukishiro-san seem to be doing quite nicely. They both think of you
+fondly and often. And you’re always in my thoughts, Sakura-chan. So
+remember that you’re always well thought of.
+	How have you been doing with your magic? Have you been practicing?
+Now that Sakura-chan is the most powerful magician on the planet, I’m
+sure she has all sorts of things to do with it all. I’ve been
+thinking that you should get an atelier for your work or at least to
+keep the Sakura Cards. Because you could always use your own
+magician’s workshop. But then, your special brand of magic never did
+have to do with the Cards. It was how your warm and loving heart
+always opened up the hearts of those around you. I hope the Cards are
+all doing well. But with Sakura-chan as their mistress, I’m sure
+they’re all doing spectacularly. And please tell Kero-chan that I
+said hello and that I hope he has been eating well. It must be nice
+for him to be back home again in China, even if it has been a while.
+Please know that everything will always be all right. Because I
+believe in you, Sakura-chan. So I know it will. You’re just too sweet
+for things to go any other way. I miss you quite a bit, but I can
+always pop in one of my
+videotapes of you whenever I want to see your smiling face again.
+I’m very glad I captured all of those images of you when I had the
+chance. But I’m very happy to know that Sakura-chan is now a blushing
+bride and with her one, true love. I hope all is going well and that
+you are endlessly happy, Sakura-chan! And please send pictures!!
+With all my love,
+Daidouji Tomoyo
+Dear Tomoyo chan,
+Nihao! Thank you so much for your letter. I have been studying
+Chinese, and it is soooo hard. It looks like kanji, but is very
+different. It's like being back at Tomoeda Elementary all over again.
+Even English wasn't this hard. So, it was great to get your letter
+and read someething in Japanese.It really is nice to hear from you.
+Oh, I forgot to say that Nihao means Konichiwa. This is one of the
+few words in Chinese that I know.
+I am still in a daze after the wedding and honeymoon. Your dress was
+so beautiful, and I got so many compliments. Thank you for working so
+hard on it. It must have been so much work, especially with all those
+bows. Syaoran-chan  liked it too. He said it saved a lot of money.
+He's always thinking about finances these days, and I guess that's
+important now that I'm out on my own. Anyway, I was worried when I
+didn't see you at the wedding reception, but Father told me you were
+not feeling well. So, that's why I sent you my bouquet. I wanted you
+to have it, just like Sonomi-sama got my Mother's bouquet. I thought
+the sakura blossoms and roses would go nicely with the nadeshiko
+flowers in your little box.
+Remember when we found the shield card in your box? I still remember
+how mad Kero-chan got when he thought he was missing out on the cake.
+He says Chinese deserts are not as good as those in Japan. I don't
+really have much time for the Cards these days, what with housework
+and all. It is a big house, and I am trying to help as much as I can.
+Syaoran-chan is working hard at the family business. I thoought I
+might find a job there too, but he says I really couldn't do much,
+which is true, I guess. So, I do a lot of dusting, and cleaning, and
+washing. Maybe I could use the Erase Card to help out! Syaoran-chan's
+Mother does most of the cooking. I did a big family meal last week,
+but I don't think it went over too well. I guess his family is not
+really used to Japanese style cooking. They were much to nice to say
+so, of course, but there were a lot of leftovers. Tomoyo-chan, do you
+know much about Chinese-style cooking? Maybe you could send me a
+recipe that's not too hard, or some tips on what to do, if that
+wouldn't be too much trouble?
+Do you remember the Li mansion from our trip before? Most of Hong
+Kong is very crowded, but we live on Victoria Peak, which has fewer
+people. Much of the city is surrounded by hills and mountains, though
+parts in the north are flatter. Sunrise on the Bay is quite
+beautiful, with the little junks bobbing on the water and the sea
+birds circling in the sky. With spring almost over it's getting very
+warm, and sometimes the pollution is so bad it's better to just stay
+inside. But the City is exciting, especially at night. Syaoran-chan
+and I went out dancing last week at a big Disco. It was really nice
+of him, because he is so tired from work all the time.
+I was very happy to hear about your job. I'm sure you'll make a
+wonderful designer. The costumes you made for me were always so
+interesting. It's funny, but now I sort of miss wearing them. I never
+knew what you would come up with next. But I'm so glad you're happy.
+And I'm glad that you're still singing. I always felt so peaceful
+hearing you sing. Do you think you could send me a cassette tape of
+your singing? If it wouldn't be too much trouble, that is. I 'd like
+to hear you sing again.
+It certainly sounds like a lot is going on at Tomoeda. Chiharu-chan
+and Yamazaki-kun should make a wonderful couple. Yamazaki-kun is so
+smart, and knows about so many interesting things. And that is so odd
+about Naoko-chan seeing Nakuru-san like that. Umm, I think they must
+just be very good friends, don't you? Oh, and I heard from Oniichan
+just the other day. He calls all the time, and writes every week.
+He's always teasing me about something. I'm not sure what you mean
+when you said in your letter about ignoring what he has said about
+you recently. It's funny you should mention that, because about a
+week after we announced our engagement, Onnichan said he wanted to
+have this serious talk with me about something. I was really nervous,
+I thought he might want to talk about, umm, what married couples do
+and things like that. But all he said was that you love me. I told
+him I knew that, and he got really mad. He was practically yelling,
+"No, baka, she really loves you!" Well, of course you do, you've
+always been my best friend. Does he think I don't know my best friend
+better than anyone in the whole world? I think he was just so upset
+about Li-kun. But I'm sure you're right; he'll get to like him in
+time. And I don't think he spilled his drink on Syaoran-chan at the
+wedding on purpose, do you?
+Tomoyo-chan, being married is really wonderful! I'm with my one true
+love almost all the time. I'm really so very very happy. Someday I
+hope to come to your wedding. Are you seeing anybody that you like? I
+was sort of thinking that maybe you and Eriol would make good
+friends. I think maybe he even likes you, because he was always
+watching you. Just a thought. I know you told me that what you most
+want is for your special love to be happy, and I'm sure that if he is
+loved by you he must be very happy, indeed.
+I really miss you, too, Tomoyo-chan. I could never have a better
+friend than you. I already told Syaoran-chan that if we have a girl,
+I'm naming her after you. He was kind of grumbly, so I told him he
+gets to name the boy. Aiyaa, but it's not like we are having a child
+anytime soon! I mean, not that I know about. But I guess you never
+know about these things. Anyhow, thank you again for your sweet
+letter. I think about you when I see the soft, pale light of the
+moon. It reminds me of my beautiful friend back home.
+Sayonara,
+Kinomoto Sakura
+PS- I enclosed some pictures for you. There is Syaoran-chan and me
+on our honeymoon at the pool of the hotel, and Syaoran-chan and me on
+bicycles we rented, and Syaoran-chan and me in front of the house.
+PPS- What is an atelier? I couldn't find the word in my dictionary.
+PPSS?- Kero sends his love, and Syaoran-chan sends his regards.
+Dear Sakura-chan,
+	I’m very happy that you received my letter well and that
+everything seems to be falling in place for you. I knew that you
+would be just fine in Hong Kong, what with a new husband and
+your entire life ahead of you. I know many wondrous surprises
+must await Sakura-chan in her new life. Thank you so much for
+sending me the pictures. I’ve watched all of my videotapes through
+again, so it was nice to see some new images of you. I have them
+framed on the nightstand next to my bed. You looked so joyous on
+your honeymoon. I gazed at your smile for hours after I found the
+enclosed pictures. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you that happy
+before. I’m so pleased that Li-kun can bring out that sweet smile in
+you. It always makes me happy to see you smile, so I’ll keep the
+pictures very close to me. That way I will know that my sweet
+Sakura-chan is happy out there in Hong Kong. I would love to see
+anymore pictures if you ever accidentally order extra prints.
+	Gomen nasai! I guess I’ve been thinking about the old days
+too much recently. An atelier is a magician’s workshop, a place to
+refine their magic and to write about their accomplishments and
+their work. I was in the library and I started thinking about Sakura-
+chan with her own atelier and I thought it might be nice for the
+world’s most powerful magician to have her own. But it sounds
+like you’re already so busy with everything else. Yes, I think that
+you should definitely use your magic around the house. I’m sure
+the Sakura Cards would love to help their mistress clean house. It
+reminds me of when you couldn’t come to our picnic because of
+your chores. But now I’m an ocean away so I can’t just stop by to
+help.
+I’m sure you’d make such a cute housewife cleaning up with the
+Sakura Cards. And I’m sure Kero-chan would love to offer his help
+as well, if he’s not busy trying to eat you out of house and home.
+Please give him a hug for me. And give Li-kun a kiss filled with
+your love.
+	I’m so sorry to hear about the troubles you’ve been having.
+But I know that if you believe in yourself, you’ll manage to
+overcome anything. Nothing ever stood in Sakura-chan’s way for
+long. With a little work, I’m certain that you’ll learn Chinese
+quickly enough. Just remember, don’t let yourself get too nervous.
+It’s like when you were cheerleading. Sakura-chan was the most
+graceful, nimble cheerleader when she was throwing herself into it,
+but whenever you started thinking about other things or started to
+get nervous you would have a lot of difficulty. I still think you
+were cute when you would make little mistakes like that, but that’s
+not the point. The point is that Sakura-chan will look cute no
+matter what she does. Wait, that's another point altogether. The
+point is that you will undoubtedly work everything out if you give it
+your all. Please remember that you’ll always have my love and
+support, no matter what happens or where you are.
+	As far as the cooking goes, I’ve enclosed several recipes
+that I looked up and one that I always enjoyed. I went to our chef
+and asked her to explain it all to me and went through it step by
+step so it should be easy enough to make. Li-kun’s family seems
+very warm from what I remember, or at least interested in cute
+things, so Sakura-chan should have no problem. Li-kun’s mother,
+Ieran-sama, seemed to be rather strict, but she was a very
+perceptive woman. I had a chance to talk with her while you were
+saving everyone else back in our trip to Hong Kong. I was
+surprised she had picked up on so much. Please don’t let her
+intimidate you. She really is a wonderful woman underneath it all,
+even if Li-kun seems a little scared of her.
+	Thank you so much for sending me your bouquet! I wish I
+could have been there to catch it, but I started to feel a very sharp
+pain near the end and had to leave. I’m eternally grateful to be able
+to hold it close to me now. It really is beautiful, just like the
+bride. I’ll keep it safe in my little box right next to your mother’s
+bouquet and the eraser you gave me when we first met. The flowers
+really do compliment each other. I think that it fits perfectly. You
+and your mother seem to share the same fate the same way that I seem
+to with my mother. You and Li-kun looked very happy together.
+I’m really so sorry that I couldn’t be there for all of your wedding.
+I tried and I told myself that I would stay, but I just wasn’t
+feeling
+well enough at all near the end. If I can ever make it up to
+you, I will do all in my power to, Sakura-chan. I’m sure it was all
+lovely. Touya-san videotaped the rest of it for me, but I have yet to
+watch it. I guess I’ve just been too busy.
+	Hong Kong is such a beautiful place. So it’s the perfect
+place for Sakura-chan to live with her beloved. You must be so
+happy there. I was watching ‘Sakura-chan’s Trip to Hong Kong’,
+the video I took when we went all those years ago, and it was
+absolutely stunning. I can just imagine Sakura-chan living there
+now. I hope it’s even more wonderful. I wasn’t really paying
+attention to the scenery all that much at the time, although it made
+a
+wonderful backdrop. I’m glad that the city is exciting enough for
+you. It’s all so much bigger than Tomoeda so there must be much
+more to do. I can see you and Li-kun dancing in my mind. That
+does sound like fun. Mother knows of a restaurant near here with a
+very nice dance floor. I’ve gone with her several times and I
+always like watching the people dance. I hope Li-kun has more
+free time soon to take you out more. It sounds like Sakura-chan
+really enjoyed herself.
+	Sakura-chan misses my costumes? I giggled when I read
+that. You always looked so embarrassed when I’d unveil a new
+costume for you. But you always wore them for me. Thank you for
+putting up with the constant wardrobe changes. You were always
+my inspiration. I had actually started designing costumes for you
+four months before I found out you were a magical girl. That’s how
+I had a van full of them by the next night. Most of them were
+already finished, it’s just that I finally had an excuse to get you
+to
+wear them. You really did look cute in all of them. I still have one
+of your costumes half finished on my desk. I should put it away,
+but I haven’t had the heart to. It seems to cry out for me to finish
+it, but I can’t quite get myself to work on it. Maybe I’m not meant
+to
+finish it. It does make a good reminder of things for me. I haven’t
+really videotaped anything recently either. You were always the
+most beautiful thing for me to videotape, so there hasn’t been a
+reason to. I put my camcorder and a few other old things I don’t
+need anymore up in the attic. If you do wind up pregnant anytime
+soon, I can always send it to you so you can videotape everything.
+I’d love to see you throughout your pregnancy and when you finally
+have a child. I still have my old videos of you, so I can always
+watch them
+if there isn’t anything new to videotape. So please just ask me if
+you need it. You’ve seen me videotape enough that I’m sure
+Sakura-chan would be a natural with it! And you would make such
+cute home movies. I know it.
+	Work has been busy as of late, but it can’t be helped. Our
+new doll needs to be out in the next few months so I need to finish
+my final designs on her. Mother tells me not to worry about it, but
+I’m just glad to be able to work on it. It’s fun to toy with
+different
+ideas and sketches and talk to all of the people working on the
+project about what would or wouldn’t work for the doll. I’ve
+already changed the design several times, but now I’m mostly
+refining it. I’ll send along a copy of my latest sketches to see what
+you think. Again, I’m sorry if she looks too much like Sakura-
+chan. I’m still trying to decide what to do with the hair, so that’s
+not quite the final look of the doll yet.
+	This letter’s going to be heavy with all of the things I need
+to send! I’ll have to start shipping Sakura-chan’s letters off in
+boxes. I added the cassette tape you asked for. I haven’t sung in
+front of anyone for quite a while now, so I found myself getting a
+little nervous when I made it. I’ve only been singing to myself
+lately, so it’s different knowing that Sakura-chan will hear it
+sometime after she gets this letter. But after I got into singing, I
+think it went by much too quickly. It was nice to have someone to
+sing for. I tried to add all of the songs I know that you like. The
+last one is a little sad, though, but I thought it was a nice ending
+to
+the tape. I really hope you like it!
+	I wish I could help more with telling you what is going on
+here in Tomoeda, but I really don’t know for sure other than the
+few times I’ve met up with the others in a shop or from hearing
+what someone else said, so I guess you’ll have to rely on Touya-
+san mostly for that. I’m really not sure what is going on with
+Nakura-san and Naoko-chan, but it would be nice if everyone’s
+finding their special someone. I’m glad that Touya-san’s keeping
+in contact with you. He’s a very good big brother. Hai, I think
+Touya-san was just worried about the wedding when he said all that.
+Don’t
+worry about it. Sakura-chan will always be my best friend so
+there’s nothing for him to worry about. And Touya-san and Li-kun
+are both very protective of you, Sakura-chan, so that is probably
+what causes most of the conflict between the two of them. When
+Touya-san sees how happy you are, he’ll have to realize how good
+you and Li-kun are for each other, just like I always knew you
+would be.
+	It makes me so happy to hear that you’re enjoying married
+life so much. You make such a wonderful blushing bride and Li-
+kun makes a perfect husband for you. This is what I always
+wanted, to know that Sakura-chan was happy and taken care of
+by her true love. I would love for Sakura-chan to come to my
+wedding, but I’m not sure if I’ll be having one. I’m just content
+knowing that my love is out there happy, even if I can’t be with
+them. Thank you for your suggestion, Sakura-chan. I’m glad
+you’re thinking about me. Eriol-kun and I do have a few things in
+common, but I think he understands that we wouldn’t work out in
+the end. And I believe that he left with Mizuki-sensei as well, so
+I’m sure they’re quite content back in England. Please don’t worry
+about me. I’ve never been any good at relationships. And I’ve been
+keeping rather busy with work and all as it is.
+	I am very honored, Sakura-chan. Arigato gozimasu! I
+would love to know that you had a daughter named after me. You
+always were an amazing best friend. And I hope we always can be.
+I hope that you and Li-kun are blessed with a child, boy or girl,
+sometime soon. I know you would be a perfect mother. Your
+gentle, warm heart would truly help with rearing a child. And
+thank you again for thinking about me. It makes me happy
+knowing that we may sometimes be thinking of each other at the
+same time, even across the ocean.
+	Thank you for writing me back so quickly, Sakura-chan. I
+always look forward to hearing from the cute Card Mistress. I was
+so thrilled to receive your letter. I can almost hear your voice when
+I read through it.
+	If I don’t finish this up, I’ll be late for work! I’m sending
+along the cassette you asked for, several Chinese recipes, and the
+design for the doll I’m working on. I hope that everything is
+perfect for Sakura-chan!
+Your eternal friend,
+Daidouji Tomoyo
+Dear Tomoyo-chan,
+Thank you so much for your wonderful letter, and all the things you
+sent. I'm sorry it took almost a week for me to reply. I was sort of
+busy, and a lot of things have been happening. I was also very tired.
+But now, I have so much to talk to you about that I don't quite know
+where to start. I guess I'll start with that. Tomoyo-chan, I am so
+happy to have you to write to! There really is no one here in Hong
+Kong that I can talk to the way I can talk with you. Poor Syaoran-
+chan is so busy at work that he usually goes straight to sleep when
+he comes home. When we do have time to talk, well, I do most of the
+talking and he does most of the listening. He really never did talk
+much, as you probably remember. And I know that a  lot of what I want
+to talk about is silly, though he is always very nice about putting
+up with me. Sometimes I talk with his sisters, and they are a lot of
+fun, but of course there are things I cannot tell them about. Then
+there is Ieran-sama, but I will mention this later.
+Thank you thank you thank you for the wonderful recipes and all the
+cooking tips! I made dinner for the family last Tuesday and this time
+there were almost no leftovers at all. I was very nervous with the
+new dishes, especially the shredded pork, but with all your helpful
+hints and loving support I felt as if Tomoyo-chan was at my side the
+entire time. I got many compliments, even one from Ieran-sama. When
+she asked me where I got the recipes, I told her they were from you.
+She said, "Ah, that explains why they are so good." I think she
+remembers you fondly.
+Oh, and I have enclosed a picture of the main dish, so you can see
+how it turned out. Doesn't it look yummy? I am very glad you enjoyed
+the pictures I sent. I felt sort of sad that you put your video
+camera away. It seems odd to think of you without it. Anyhow, they
+say here in China that a picture is worth one thousand words, so I
+decided to buy a camera and make my letters longer. I went shopping
+last weekend and bought a Japanese camera, a Canon, and the price was
+very low compared to back home. Syaoran-chan helped me to figure out
+how it worked. Unfortunately I ruined a few rolls of film before I
+got the hang of it. So from now on, I will try to have pictures so
+you can see what is going on with your friend from accross the seas.
+I'm so happy that you liked the bouquet from my wedding. Hopefully
+someday you will be able to see the whole wedding when you watch
+Touya's videotape. Unfortunately, he isn't very good at videotaping.
+There are a lot of shots of me in his film, but not many of Syaoran-
+chan. Tomoyo-chan, I wanted to ask you about your not feeling well at
+my wedding. I was really scared when you talked about a "sharp pain".
+Are you OK? Have you seen a doctor? Is it anything serious? Please
+tell me the truth about this. I have been worried about you ever
+since I read that. I almsot called you. If anything were to happen to
+you, I don't know what I would do. Please take very good care of
+yourself. Even though you are far away, you are so important to me,
+and I think about you often. Oh, and why is there an eraser in your
+box of special things? I vaguely remember giving you an eraser when
+we first met. I thought you were so very pretty, but looked so lonely
+on your first day in class.
+Someday I would like to go to that restaurant by your house with you
+and your mother and Syaoran-chan. Then you could watch us dance! I'll
+bet Sonomi-sama is a wonderful dancer. Does she ever dance there?
+Tomoyo-chan, I'll bet you would be a wonderful dancer, too. When I
+went to buy my camera, I had lunch in a hotel restaurant. It was very
+high up and overlooked a large dance hall. There was a ballroom
+dancing contest going on, and all the couples were swirling around so
+beautifully down below. With their gorgeous dresses and elegant
+dancing I thought of you. Aiyaa, I guess you are not the only one
+thinking of the old days lately, ne? To tell the truth, I am thinking
+about you a lot for some reason. That's why, even though I am still a
+bit sleepy, I wanted to write to you before another day was gone.
+Oh, please don't worry about me, though. Let me tell you why I am so
+tired lately. After reading your letter, I thought it would be fun
+just to talk to the Cards, because it has been such a long time. But
+when I finally found the box and opened it up, some of the cards had
+gone to sleep. It was very surprising, and I felt bad for ignoring
+them for so long. I have been using my magic to wake them all up, and
+am all finished except for Fight and Power. I saved those for last
+because it will be exhausting to wake them up. I thought perhaps
+Sleep or Dream were behind everything, but when I talked to them they
+said they did not do anything, and the cards have never lied to me
+before. I spoke with Kero about all this, and he seemed puzzled.
+Well, I suspect it is because I was ignoring them for so long. I will
+try very hard to talk with all of them more often. So, there is
+nothing to worry about with me being a little tired.
+I thought the drawings of your doll were very pretty. And so many
+different costumes! I'm sure you'll think of a beautiful hairstyle
+for her. You always did such wonderful things with your own hair. It -
+does- look like me, but I guess that makes sense, since I was always
+wearing your designs. Daidouji Toys is very lucky to have such a
+wonderful designer working for them. I would love to have a doll when
+they come out, so I can show everyone here what my best friend does
+back home.
+As for Irean-sama. Tomoyo-chan, I don't think she likes me very
+much. Syaoran-chan says she is still mad about our getting married in
+Japan without her permission. I know I do a lot of things wrong, and
+have much to learn about being a good wife. She is critical, and I
+know that she is like this because she wants the best for Syaoran-
+chan and the family. . I know that if you say she is a good person it
+must be true, because Tomoyo-chan knows more about people than
+anyone. But when she does look at me she seems so angry, although
+when I was cooking the shredded pork dinner she looked at me as if
+she were very sad, and felt sorry for me. I don't know what to do but
+try my very hardest to be a good wife, and hope that someday she will
+like me just a little. I do wish you were here with me. I always felt
+so much better when I could talk with you about things like this. I
+miss you, Tomoyo-chan.
+I got a very sweet letter from Naoko-chan. It was so odd, because we
+were just talking about her. She is attending Tokyo University, and
+is sharing an apartment in the city with Nakuru-san. She is doing
+well, making straight A's, which is what you would expect. She was
+always so smart. She said she got the apartment because there was
+some gruesome murder there, and hoped it would be haunted. Hoeee! She
+also said she is very much in love with Nakuru-san. It is sort of
+confusing, but I was glad to hear she is so happy, and seems to have
+found her special someone.
+Tomoyo-chan, this reminds me that there is something I wanted to
+talk with you about. I know you said to me once that what makes you
+happiest is knowing the person you love is happy. But Tomoyo-chan,
+don't you think that person would be even happier knowing that you
+loved them? I have never known anybody quite like you. I always
+thought you were the kindest, smartest, sweetest, prettiest, most
+talented person I've ever met. If I was the man you loved, I would
+want to know that! It would make me so very happy to have someone
+like you. Do you think that maybe they do not love you? I can't
+imagine anyone who would not love Tomoyo-chan! You really should tell
+them, and you might be surprised. Just because you have never been in
+a relationship is no reason to think you are not any good at them. I
+was never in a relationship before, but now Syaoran-chan and I are so
+very happy together. So, I really think you should consider telling
+your special person just how you feel. Besides, I want to go to
+Tomoyo-chan's wedding and take pictures with my new camera!
+And thank you so much for the cassette tape with your singing on it.
+Your voice is as beautiful as ever. It brings back so many memories
+of you. Please don't get upset, but hearing you made me cry. I guess
+when we were together, I always thought it would be like that. I
+always thought Tomoyo-chan would be there to talk with, to help me,
+and to cheer me up. Now that you are so far away, I know better what
+I have lost. I am so happy with Syaoran-chan, but I miss my Tomoyo-
+chan so very much.
+.
+Thank you again for all the lovely things you sent.
+Love,
+Sakura
+PS: Thank you for telling me what an atelier is
