Dear Mother,
I miss you; like I never thought I would do. Uncle and I just arrived a few hours from port. We’re staying on Puerto Rico for a while. Maybe one more month… But only if you approve it, I learned a lot over the seas. It’s funny, I missed this semester of college, but the sea itself was a life teaching experience. If you see me now you’d be so mad at Uncle, I haven’t shaved and my hair is long, you hate seeing me like this. I miss you nagging about it. The crew was really supportive and accepting with me, they teach me how to cook, and how to fish. I’ve loss some weight but I still look the same.
How is everybody? I doubt they know I’m gone; it’s technically the same at home with or without me. Does anybody else beside you miss me? I sure do, even though I said I didn’t I do, writers are good liars, no I’ve never lied to you… Not for a long time, I hope you’re ok, and please, let me know how Charlie is doing; I haven’t heard from him, I haven’t written to him to be honest. Even though we’ve been to some ports I never bothered to send him a card. When you talk to him tell him I miss him, I miss him a lot.
I want to tell you everything that happened this month but I don’t have much time now. I’ll tell you when I get back, I promise.
I love you.
