Dear Mum,

Jeremy thinks that I don't want you to come home, because that's what I tell him. But that isn't true, Mum I want you home. Please come home. Everywhere I see daughters and their mums, being happy, spending time with each other, and then there's me with two boys. At night if Dad hasn't cried to sleep, and Jeremy isn't on your side of the bed, I sleep on your side of the bed. Because I cried and don't want Jeremy to know that I cry for you to come back home.

When it's Mothers day, Dad buys some blue tulips for me to put in the vase next to your side of Dads bed. Dad lets me play some of your Xbox on Mothers Day too. Jeremy isn't allowed  to play your Xbox, Dad says he wants me to keep it between you and me, that it will be our little thing. Dad says that I'm getting better everytime I play it.

School is sort of fun. I can read, write and do math now. I read books with no pictures, Jeremy reads books with pictures. Dad teaches us, if he isn't working. If he is working, Nana teaches us. It's fun when Nana teaches us, but it is more fun when Dad teaches us.

Mum, come back soon, we miss you.

-Blake, letter found by Dad.
(Love from Jeremy, Blake and Jai).
