I was away for two weeks and I almost forgot to say. I turned 14! Although I did not get to spend my birthday with my mom I know it was not her fault. Mom, if you ever read this don't worry about me. I am growing up and I understand more of this than you think I do. You always try and shield me and protect me from things, but I am 14 now. I am almost grown up. Thank you for always trying so hard. I just wanted to say I love you mom!
