My dearest Charlie,

I hope this message finds you wherever you are, my sweet baby sister. There's something I've been wanting to tell you, something that I know will make you smile from ear to ear. I've done it, Charlie. I've made the decision to chase after your dream, our dream. I'm going to play for your favourite team, Arsenal, just like you always wanted to. And not only that, but I'll proudly wear your favourite number, number 8, every time I step onto the field.

Oh, how I wish you were here to share in this moment with me, Charlie. I can picture your face lighting up with that infectious smile of yours, your eyes shining with pride. You always had a way of making even the toughest moments feel brighter, Charlie, and I carry your spirit with me every day.

You may not have had the chance to play on a team or professionally, Charlie, but you were the best soccer partner I could have ever asked for. Our backyard practices, our impromptu games in the living room – those were some of the happiest moments of my life, all because I got to share them with you.

I know it won't be easy, Charlie. There will be challenges and obstacles along the way, but I promise to give it my all, to play with the same heart and determination that you brought to every backyard game. I'll imagine you right there beside me, cheering me on with all your might.

Thank you, Charlie, for being my biggest cheerleader, my constant source of encouragement. Your belief in me has given me the strength to pursue this dream.

And Chrissy, I owe you an apology too, my dear brother. I know how much you love Barcelona, and I'm sorry for leaving your favourite club behind. But I hope you'll understand that this decision is about honouring Charlie's memory and fulfilling her dream. You've always supported me, Chrissy, and I'm grateful for that more than words can express.

Playing for Barcelona has been a dream of mine, Chrissy, and I haven't forgotten what you wanted me to do. While I haven't done it yet, I will. I promise. I'll live out both Charlie and your dreams, Chrissy, and I'll carry you both with me every step of the way.

Until I see you again,

Ra-Ra
