[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
What's this?
[Spoken BILLY]
It's a letter
[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
I can see it's a letter
[Spoken BILLY]
You can open it if you want
[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
Thank God for that, the suspense was killing me
[Spoken BILLY]
It's from me mum
[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
Your mum?
[Spoken BILLY]
She wrote it for us when I was eighteen, but since I couldn't wait
[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
I see
[Spoken BILLY]
You can read it if you want
Read it out
[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
Dear Billy
I must seem a distant memory
[Spoken BILLY]
Which is...
[Spoken MRS. WILKINSON]
Which is probably a good thing
And it will have been a long-
[Spoken BILLY]
Long time
[BILLY]
And I will have missed you growing
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
Missed your stomping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy
Know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy...
[MRS. WILKINSON]
But please, Billy
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
Proud that you were mine
Proud in everything
And you must promise me this, Billy
[BILLY'S MUM]
In everything you do
Always be yourself, Billy
And you always will be true
And I will have missed you growing
And I'll have missed you crying
And I'll have missed you laugh
[MUM & MRS. WILKINSON]
Missed your stomping and your shouting
I have missed telling you off
But please, Billy
Know that I was always there
I was with you through everything
And please, Billy
Know that I will always be
Proud to have known you
[MUM]
Love you forever
[BILLY]
Love you forever
[MRS. WILKINSON]
