He then posted a photo of the letter.
Annnnnd brb crying.
Dear Erick
This is the letter in its entirety:
Erick,
I just want you to know that I love you. We don’t have time in this life to be sad or hide who we really are because before you know it, it could be too late. Love whoever you want, just love hard, I support and will support you in any way possible.
I know we’re not the closest, but I just wanna let you know that I know and I don’t [inelgible] because it doesn’t change you as a person.
So if you ever need to get anything off your chest, I’m right here. You don’t have to find your identity alone! I love, I care, and I support you, Erick.
Love, Sean
Positive reactions
Erick posted a follow-up tweet, explaining why he shared it.
I can’t believe this tweet has blown up! I’m incredibly humbled for all the love and support I’ve received from not only my brother, but the people that have liked and shared this. I felt that I had to share it because maybe I can help someone who has been struggling like I have.

Of course!! How could I not share this?! Especially if it can help someone else who’s going through the same thing. Thank you for your kind words 💚
