Back to Basics

Dear Mama,

I heard today about somebody else's mom dying. Is it obnoxious that it never occurs to me that could happen to somebody else? Always surprised. I know it's definitely obnoxious that I think "but you're so much older than I was - you got so many more years than I did" for sure. You know what else is obnoxious? That I told a couple of people that Loser Girl paid money to blow Hector. She did not look happy today and didn't talk to anybody in class. I *tried* to warn her.

We are down to once a week shrinkings for me and Dani. Craig said to call him any time, but nobody ever means that when they say it, but it was nice of him anyway. Alex made banana bread herself tonight and it came out really good.

I am going to the prom with a very nice boy who you would like if you met. If you were alive you would say all sorts of deep things to me before prom that I can't think of without you.

We watched The Bachelor tonight and there is the coolest thing - a trampoline you can put in water! Like in a lake or something. How cool is that? I put it on my list of things I want to do in life.

I am going to get some banana bread and do more homework now. I love you and miss you and if you came back I promise I'd come up with more interesting things to tell you.

Love,
me
