Twenty-Six
To the Parents
Dear Mom and Dad
It's been a while since I've written you, huh? A whole year's gone by and I haven't once picked up a pen to write you a letter. I've just been so busy with the farm and my animals, it must have slipped my mind.
I really miss you guys, and Angela and Kevin, too. How are the twins, by the way? Did they ever graduate High School, or did they simply cause too much trouble and get kicked out? Haha, you know I'm just kidding! I think one of the things I miss most about home is the…adventure the twins seemed to attract.
Well, the reason I'm writing you is that, well, I'm getting married. And I'd really like you two to bring the twins and come to the wedding. It's set for the 11th day of Summer, and it just so happens that Pascal, the Ferryman on Castanet Island, will be making a run to the Mainland on the 9th. I know you guys thought that I was too young when I left home, and I know you probably think I'm too young to be married, but I want you to be there.
I think you two would like Jin, the man I'm marrying. He's a doctor; didn't you always want me to marry a doctor, Dad? And he's such a gentleman, I don't think I could have asked for anything more in a husband. It would mean so much to us, to me, if you would be at our wedding and give us your blessing. I'm sure Kasey would love to see you, as well.
Well, here's to hoping that we'll hear from you soon.
You're loving daughter, Molly.
