Hi Roice
How are you? I just received your last thoughtlet entitled "Bipolar". Anyway, it seemed like in the message you were pondering about continuing the thoughtlets later on, and I just wanted to tell you that I hope you do continue them, because I thoroughly enjoy them. They are my way of getting to know you, your beliefs, you opinions, and your feelings. It's hard getting to know someone from a long distance perspective and I think your thoughtlets help solve this. Plus, I like to read your stories of the past and your stories of the present. I'm sure the rest of the family enjoys them as much as I do because they are such a strong communication which is always needed and wanted. So, I hope this helps influence you on your decision later.
Anyway, I sent that Risks poem that Roice gave you on Thoughtlets to my Dad. I thought he would really like it and might perhaps use it at his school. I talked to my mom and she said he enjoyed it so much that he wanted me to send it to him again with a little personal note about me and how I'm doing at school and kind of reflect on my days at Grace. He is going to give it to his teachers. A little bit of PR work!! :)
Well, it's almost Spring Break. I am so looking forward to leaving and getting awhile for a little while. I just called my grandmother again about going to visit her, and she is so excited about seeing Ben and I again. I can't wait for Ben to see where she lives. It is absolutely beautiful! Her backyard is practically next to the mountains! I think he's really going to like it. Plus, he'll get to spend some time with my grandmother. I am not sure how much longer she'll be around, so I want him to get to know her as much as he can. I think she's a great, wonderful, and brave lady. Which reminds me---Would you happen to have Grandma Hafen's address? I would like to send her a little letter or perhaps just a card saying Hi. Also, I would like Aunt Sara's address so that I can send her a picture of Ben and I. She said that she wanted one during Christmas. I think I'm a little late on my promise, but I guess it's better late than never. While you're at it could you also send me your mother's address? I might send her a card too. Thank you so much!
Well, I'll talk to you later. If not before Spring Break, I'll write next weekend when we get back and let you know how it went. Plus, I am going to take lots of pictures, so I hope you get to see them! Have a good week!
Love, Sarah
:)
