A letter from Jan 21, 2025

Dear Ainsley, Happy 10th birthday! Wow, you’re in the double digits now! Plus, きんじょう先生 and Mrs. Choi LOVE you! On top of all that, you are doing great at all your activities. What are you doing now, finishing Burgmuller!? Playing soccer in the tri-state league, if there is such a thing!? And what is Kellen doing these days? He’s almost a teenager! Still playing video games, no doubt. He’s… also probably got his nose in some book right now. I wonder what you’re doing right now. Maybe having a sleepover with Ana, Sanaa, and Toki? Or maybe you’re bowling, or at the arcade, or maybe you’re just reading the book you got for your birthday. Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re having lots of fun. Did you get good candy on…I’m guessing Friday? You know, I bet that’s what you’re doing! I bet you’re reading this and enjoying your candy from Valentine’s Day! Lucky duck. Loves, Ainsley!
