DEAR SOPHIA,

I’M SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS IS WHERE YOUR MOTHER IS WORKING. THIS IS RECENT. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME PATTERN CONTINUES. EVERY TWO YEARS A NEW JOB. THIS ISN’T JUST WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN. THIS IS HER PATTERN SINCE SHE STARTED AT NORTHWESTERN TWO DECADES AGO.

I’M SURE I WILL SEE YOU SOON. I KNOW YOU ARE TIRED OF HEARING THAT BUT BELIEVE ME IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. STAY SAFE. STAY SMART. STAY ALERT.

LOVE,

DAD

P.S.HAPPY NAME DAY AGAIN, IN GREEK, “XPONIA POLLA!” – WHICH MEANS IN GREEK MANY YEARS, AND IT IS ANOTHER REMINDER FOR YOU TO LEARN GREEK OR KEEP LEARNING GREEK.
