Letter to Erin 20160528

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi Sweetie!  How's it going today?  How's my gorgeous beloved Erin feeling?  I guess you're not leaving town for the weekend like everyone else, after all, it's your job to leave town.  Right?  I hope you are having tons of fun and keeping safe.  Please do keep safe, because I love you and I need you.

Memorial Day, huh?  The jacket in the photo belonged to Daniel Boregino, a Specialist who was stationed in the Philippines during World War 2.  He passed away in 1992, I think.  All the pins and badges were his except the "girl power" badge: that's mine.  His children are close friends of mine, and they gave me his jacket.  This is the jacket I slept in every night when I was homeless 8 years ago.  My own personal war, I guess.  Ya Allah, thank You for saving my life.  Again.

Oh, I'm so ravenous today!  I could just keep on eating, I don't know why.  I had fried rice for lunch, but that's just too modest for me right now.  I had a couple of cheese sandwiches after voice training, but I decided to go straight into dinner instead of working in the yard.  It was raining, anyway.  So I fried up 46 stuffed won tons.  I would offer you some, but I ate them all.  I think this is my personal record.

Please allow me to say something to Antonia.

Dear Antonia, you look cute with glasses.
