Letter from Ivy.

Ivy dictated a letter that I got in the mail the other day.

Dear Daddy,
I love you. I want to kiss you all over. Dear Daddy. Thank you. Oh Daddy, I wish I could see you all the time. Love Daddy. I wish I could snuggle you all day long. I wish I could kiss you all day. Love Daddy. And now I want to snuggle with you and mommy and Ari and Emily and mommy. I wish I could live on the same Earth. I wish I could live on the same planet. I wish I could live on the same city. I wish I could be an adult with, because that is what you are. When am I going to see you? When will I... Where are you? I wish something could make you come to me. What is wrong with you? I wish I could march with you all day. I want to give you everything that is beautiful. Love Daddy. I love you. Ari Michael is my little brother. Who lives in South Carolina? At camp I went to class and learned ...

'My God is so Big, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do. The mountains are His, the valleys are His, The stars are His handy work too.'

Dear Jesus, I wish I could see daddy. Can I please live with him, can you make me a mermaid with him? Dear Jesus, Amen. Love, Ivy.

Daily

Its a good morning. I have been without a room mate for a week now...it's been a blessing not having a stinky-rap music lovin-messyface person living with me...I suppose there is no way to make it the next few months this way...but its been nice.

Last night I finally rigged a blanket to cover the entire window making my room a virtual-night in the middle of day...because that's when I am supposed to sleep...in the middle of the day.

I was able to write a couple letters I've been putting off. Of course, there a few more that I might be able to write...if a certain sister, who is younger than me, and with child, would resume her writing to her poor/cut-off brother.

And, so far, as I said, it's a nice day...getting hot, but with a steady breeze. Please G-d, poor your blessings on my air conditioner and give it "extra cooling power"...in your Wisdom of course. Amen.
