Dear Alex:
How are you.
I am sorry that I did not say goodbye to you in person when you left for work. I kept thinking about you on Sunday. Allen and I reviewed some old pictures of you. I hardly believe that you are almost twenty and have your first paid job now. I am very proud of you.
Living on your own is a big step. Cooking, cleaning, budgeting, paying the bills, shopping, and filling the gas now become your responsibility.
You know that we will be there for you all the time.
Love,
Mom.
