Love, Rosie (57 page)

you
no
how
great
at

spelling
I
am!

By
the
way
Rosie,
just
to
let
you
no,
you
haven’t
been
doing
a
“crappy

job”
as
you
so
nicely
phrased
it.
I
don’t
think
you
understand
the
difficulty

of
what
you
are
doing.
You
are
a
full-time
single
mum
who
has
a
job
as
a

personal
secretary
to
a
very
successful
businessman.
I
only
changed
the

words
around;
I
didn’t
alter
the
truth
in
any
way.
What
you
have
been
doing

day
after
day
is
incredible.
When
I
come
home
from
work
I’m
so
shattered

that
I
just
collapse;
I
barely
take
care
of
myself,
never
mind
another
person.

Don’t
underestimate
yourself,
Rosie,
don’t
play
down
what
you
do.

When
you
go
into
your
interviews
keep
your
head
held
high
and
feel
confi-

dent
with
the
knowledge
that
you
are
an
incredibly
hard
worker
(when
you

want
to
be),
you
have
the
wonderful
ability
to
work
with
other
people
as
you

are
always
well
liked
(except
that
time
when
we
had
to
do
a
group
project
in

school
on
the
planets
and
you
insisted
on
drawing
little
men
on
Mars
and
lit-

tle
women
on
Venus
over
Helen
Corrigan’s
picture
that
took
her
weeks
to
do

in
art
class
which
ended
up
causing
every
one
in
the
group
to
walk
out
in

protest
leaving
just
the
two
of
us
having
to
start
another
one
all
by
our-

selves.
God
what
is
it
about
you
and
me
being
together
that
makes
everyone

hate
us?!)
You
are
wonderful,
beautiful,
smart,
and
intelligent,
and
if
you

knew
anything
about
coronary
heart
diseases
I’d
hire
you
myself.

I
mentioned
that
you
were
offered
a
place
in
Boston
College
which
is

impressive
so
everything
will
be
fine,
just
be
yourself
and
they’ll
love
you.

Just
one
more
thing,
I
strongly
suggest
that
you
apply
for
a
job
that
you

actually
like
this
time.
You
would
be
surprised
at
how
easy
it
is
to
get
out
of

bed
in
the
morning
when
you’re
going
to
do
something
that
doesn’t
make

you
want
to
jump
off
the
top
floor
of
the
bus
(I
was
a
bit
worried
when
I
got

that
e-mail).
How
about
finally
trying
to
find
a
place
in
a
hotel?
You’ve

wanted
to
do
that
since
you
stayed
in
the
Holiday
Inn
in
London
when
you

were
seven,
remember?

Go
for
it
and
let
me
no
how
you
get
on.
