Dear Sweets,

You really are one lucky filly. You know that? I dreamed to have such a doting group of friends like that CMC thing you started forever ago. And now I'm part of the group. Thank you. I had always thought I only needed Silver Spoon and my dad to get by, but really I needed a friend like you. I needed trust, love and honesty. I just didn't know it until too late. But I'm glad, in a weird way, that I helped you guys create the CMC. Even though you all have your Cutie Marks now and are moving on, it's a group that has taken off across Equestria and all the little fillies and colts who are dying to get their marks have you to thank for creating a group where they can fit in.
I can't wait to see where you go from here. With your sister's help, you're going to be the most famous singer in all of Equestria. Your voice and your kind heart are an inspiration and you could melt even a Changeling's heart with your lyrics. You used to be so shy, so awkward on stage. You wanted to be behind the scenes even though your spot was destined to be in the light and at center stage. It took you years to see that but I'm glad you finally did.
I hear you'll be performing at the coronation of Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor's daughter next week in the Crystal Kingdom. I am so beyond jealous! But dad needs my help with the family business so I won't be there half the week. But I will be there for sure the day of to see you perform.
You're going to so so far in life, Sweetie Belle. And I can't wait to see where the road will take you and the places you'll see. You deserve this life and to soak up the spot light.
And I'll be right there by the stage every night rooting you on.

Keep on singing! See you in the Canterlot Times!
