A short one for Mother's Day. I'd like to write one on this topic with JJ too, but ideas are scarce. Suggestions?
Dear Mom:
I'm writing this from Podunk, USA where the concept of cell phone service is on par with using the carrier pigeon to communicate. I know that today is Mother's Day, and yes, before you ask, I am seeing someone—though I'm not sure it's going to last long. Guy has some strange notions on me quitting my job (like that's going to happen anytime soon).
It's a shame I'm out in the field on this, today of all days, especially since you've actually got the day off for a change. I've already informed our unsub that it's his fault I'm missing drinks with my mom, but seriously, I'm really not too convinced that he cares. (Maybe he needs drinks with him mom…oh, wait. Scratch that. She's the reason we're all here in the first place.)
Anyway, definitely catching a couple of rum and Cokes with you when I get back. You are off the entire week, right?
Love, Emily
