Dear Will,
We still have a whole year to go, and it seems too long! Time has begun to slow down again, and the anticipation is overwhelming! James and I both struggle now to concentrate on our work for daydreaming of your return! I still would give anything to be in your presence right now and we miss you more than you could know!
Sarah and Bethany are moving out, as they are pursuing their dreams and James and I are doing well on our own.
James wants to tell you that he's sorry he's not following in your footsteps to become a blacksmith, but rather wants to be a sailor like Mr. Gibbs. He's working hard at school and visits his friends at the docks daily. Also, we have acquired a pet cat named Roger.
W are counting the days and watching the horizon…
Elizabeth &
James
