My baby,
Perriella Ross! Don't you dare think I'll ever be disappointed in you. You are my darling. I'll never be disappointed in you. That would mean you'd be a mistake, and I don't make mistakes. You know this. You are a special girl, Perry. I knew you were special when you first smiled to the world. You are so precious. I will never stop loving you and I'll never forget you.
I just can't wait till I get to hug you again. It's felt like ages rest of the family wrote letters to, Your dad and Tyler. I had to pull Tyler away from his DS to write. You know how much he hates to write. But your dad was slow on it, as always. I want to bring back memories. When you need a comfort or a smile or a cry, read and think of me, Perry. Think of me.
I read about ZigZag or 'Ricky'. I hope you aren't messing around with any boys. But I seriously doubt that. Stanley seems like a good friend. And I want you to make as many friends as you can. Just try and be friendly for me. Have you made any more friends? Oh, I can't wait to see you so we can talk about all the things you've been through. I love you, my girlie. I will always be proud of you. In, my book, you rule the world.
To the Perfect Girl-From the Loving Mom,
Emily Walton Ross xoxo
This I knew was my mom. Encouragement to carry on was all she wanted for me. My mom's motto was "Life sucks. Deal with it." As funny as it was, all jokes aside, she was right. I mean, Would you look at my predicament. Juvey camp. Odd friends. Terrible job. But, I dealt with it. That was the most important part.
I folded up the letter and smiled. I'm as excited as her, believe me. The last letter was big and fire red. Tyler was sprawled across the front. I peeled off the covering, finding a note and a small leather pouch with an object inside just waiting for my eyes to gaze upon.
Hi, I was looking at the views and I really want to thank you. Not to get mushy but, At my begining, I was sure I was going together nothing at all. But now, I have people from EVERYWHERE reading Living in Holes! Aw, thanks! And please keep reading! It is gonna get really really good. Thank you all. I have so many readers from (exmple), Ireland, Hong Kong, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and even Russia. I swear, finding all this every morning makes me feel really cool. So, to all the people in the places I wish I were at (United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Australia, you know who you are) Merci! Dankeschön! Go raibh maith agat! And if you don't know, that's thank you in different languages!
