Mom:
I hate to ask this; but I may not be able to come back out to the farm this week so (and I can’t believe I’m asking this one) could you have Trev or Ky to bring my bow to Landing? I need to start practicing with it more. I should have remembered it when I was there last time.
How are Dad and Kyle? They weren’t home the last time I was there and I missed them.
And, to answer your questions for the millionth time: No, not seeing anyone; No, haven’t decided what I’m doing when I finish this year at the Academ; and Yes, there is someone I like but I’m not telling you because I know what you’ll do! Your little girl is also her father’s little girl, Mama. She knows your little tricks as well as he and my brothers do. I do love you, Mama, I do. But, I have to make my next few decisions on my own.
I’m not saying I don’t love and treasure your advice and concern, and your wishes that I only have the best of things happen to me in my life. But, I won’t always be that little girl with skinned knees and and a gap-toothed grin, fighting with her brothers (the cretins) and winning half the time.
When I’ve come to my decisions, I will let you know what they are. And, then we can talk about how I should go about making them a reality.
Love you , Mama
Toni
