Champion of the Semicolon

Dear Mom,

I don't judge your emotional outpourings -- I admire them and wish you would have more. Maybe you'd be happier if you took off the teacher face once in a while.

Love,

Love,

Always,
Erica

Were you not so far away, I'd suggest a shot of local music and maybe a gin and tonic. Glad to see you are thriving.

Missing you constantly,

Everyone has doubts, but they're just doubts. Which is rich coming from me.
