Dear Father,
How are you? I hope this letter reaches you in good health.
A lot of interesting things have happened since you went on tour. Mother's school has closed for summer vacation, I thought she would never get a break! Uncle Sarin has changed his job, I thought the old lad would never get a job! Maybe we should never make assumptions, anyways, Richa has joined the short term computer course, a smart girl as she always is. Suman recieved a interview call from the Modis, I knew he would get a it! Remember our neighbour, Mr. Mehta? Yeah, he brought a car to replace his old tin can! Its shining and Mr. Mehta keeps cleaning it.
As i am writing this letter to you, I feel happiness welling inside me, and a smile across my face, I hope you come soon
Your Daughter,
Edith
