DELIA

April 28th
Dear Dimitri,
You're worried about me? WHAT ABOUT YOU? Your dad is a piece of shit. I'm sorry. No, I'm not, actually. I hope he rots in prison for a long time. I'm glad your mom is divorcing that monster. I'm sorry my last letter was so short. That's all I could write. I had another breakdown and cried. I don't usually get emotional about my dad.

Also, that's a beautiful bible verse. I wrote it down and taped it to my mirror.

I think I can help my dad. He got a new job and he shaved this morning. I think he's trying to change. When I came home yesterday the house was clean! No empty beer bottles. No trash on the floor. He even did the dishes. What if he's finally changing and I don't even give him a chance?

I have to give him a chance.

Freshman year's almost over. I got a summer job at the movie theater. I start June 1st. Do you have any plans for the summer?

Love, Delia
