HOW
SCARY
IS
IT
THAT
WE’RE
SO
CLOSE
TO

HAVE
A
DRINK
FOR
ME.

LOVE,

Rosie
if
you
think
thirty-eight
is
bad,
just
imagine
how
I
must
feel.
Fifty

next
year.
Aaaah!
We’ll
have
a
huge
party.

Just
you
and
me
invited.

Happy
birthday
again.

Hi
Mum,

I’m
in
Andorra.
Met
this
gorgeous
guy
who’s
my
ski
instructor
who’s

trying
to
teach
me
how
not
to
break
my
neck.
He
doesn’t
speak
a
word
of

English
but
we
get
along
just
fine.
Everything
is
great
here,
you
and
I
should

go
skiing
some
time,
you’d
love
it!
The
winter
festival
is
going
really
well,

got
a
few
small
gigs
to
do.
I’ll
be
home
for
Christmas
so
we
can
catch
up
on

all
the
gossip!
Can’t
wait
to
see
you!

Love,

Katie

Hi
Mum,

Do
you
want
to
stay
with
me
for
Christmas?
Katie
is
coming
home
and

it
can
be
the
three
of
us.
I
think
it
would
be
really
nice,
you
can
have
Katie’s

room
and
I’ll
set
up
a
sofa
bed
for
her.
I’m
so
excited
about
the
idea.
Beanie

has
given
me
Christmas
day
off
so
please
say
yes!

Rosie

Rosie,

I’d
love
to
come
over
honey.
Thanks
for
the
invite.
Can’t
wait
to
see
little

Katie.
Not
so
little
anymore
I
suppose!

Love,

Mum

Coming
home

Cecelia
Ahern

Thanks
so
much
for
Christmas
dinner
it
was
absolutely
yummy
as

always.
It
was
good
for
us
3
to
be
together
again.
Just
the
girls!

Grandma
has
changed
a
lot
since
the
last
time
I
saw
her
and
you
look

tired.
I
was
thinking
of
coming
home
for
a
few
weeks
and
helping
out.
Maybe

I
could
get
a
job
around
Dublin
for
a
short
while?
I
want
to
help
out
(plus

there’s
the
added
bonus
of
meeting
up
with
that
guy
I
met
while
I
was
there!).

Let
me
no.

Re:
Coming
home

Do
not
come
home!
That
is
an
order!
Everything
is
just
fine
here.
You

need
to
live
your
life
too
so
you
can
continue
on
with
your
travels,
work

hard,
and
enjoy
yourself!
Don’t
worry
about
your
grandma
and
me,
we’re

absolutely
fine!

I’m
really
enjoying
the
job
and
I
don’t
mind
the
long
hours.
It’s
also
nice

to
be
able
to
go
away
every
week
to
breathe
the
fresh
air
of
Connemara.
