Your
job

I’m
so
sorry
to
hear
about
you
losing
your
job,
I
no
you
hated
it
but
still

it’s
never
nice
to
have
to
leave
when
it’s
not
your
own
decision.
I
couldn’t

Ahern

reach
you
on
the
phone,
you’ve
either
been
on
the
phone
all
day
or
they’ve

cut
you
off.
Either
way
I
thought
I’d
e-mail
you
instead.
I
completely
forgot

to
tell
you
that
when
we
returned
to
Dublin
after
the
funeral
that
what’s-his-

name
called
around
to
the
flat
to
see
you.

I
didn’t
want
to
call
you
because
you
were
upset
enough
as
it
was
so
I

took
a
message.
He
dropped
in
some
post
that
had
been
delivered
to
his
house

for
you
and
said
that
he
hoped
that
they
would
be
some
sort
of
help
to
you

now
that
your
mum
and
dad
are
gone.
He
said
he
understood
how
you
felt
as

his
mum
died
last
year
and
he
didn’t
want
to
be
the
cause
of
your
loneliness.

He
seemed
sincere
but
who
can
ever
tell
with
him.
It
was
odd
seeing
him

after
so
many
years.
He’s
really
aged.
Anyway
I
hope
whatever
is
in
the

envelopes
isn’t
too
important
but
let
me
no
what
they
are
all
the
same.
I
left

the
two
envelopes
in
the
bottom
drawer
of
the
living
room
cabinet.

S

Rosie,

I’m
returning
to
Boston
tomorrow
but
before
I
go
I
wanted
to
write
this

letter
to
you.
All
the
thoughts
and
feelings
that
have
been
bubbling
up
inside

love,
rosie

403

me
are
finally
overflowing
into
this
pen
and
I’m
leaving
this
letter
for
you
so

that
you
don’t
feel
that
I’m
putting
you
under
any
great
pressure.
I
understand

that
you
will
need
to
take
your
time
trying
to
decide
on
what
I
am
about
to
