Dear Daddy,
I am writing this letter to you because Momma said that you wont be coming back for a while. Please Daddy, we need you to come. Daddy why did you leave on Thanksgiving without saying goodbye to me and Jenny? You will come for Christmas, wont you? Me and Jenny miss you so much alredy. Momma aint no fun, she always says she got a headache and she stays in bed all day. Monroe was going to fix up the room for the baby but he sits in front of the tv after he comes home from the store.
Jenny is all determined to get a locket for Christmas, a gold one, she says she will buy it for herself if she dont get one. Momma and Monroe will just forget and Jenny says she wants to put your picture it, so she wont forget what you look like if you don’t come back. But she only has $1.63 in the piggy bank you got her. I dont need no picture. I see you in my head.
Daddy what did you fight about on Thanksgiving? Jenny and me ask Momma all the time but she says were too young. But I’m not. Was it something about your friend Jack the one who came to see you that day when me and Jenny were with you? I hid one day and I heard Momma and Monroe talkin, somethin about your friend and Momma started cryin again. Daddy why, I don’t understand. But I don’t care. I thouht he looked real nice.
Daddy, I gotta go now, Momma called me. Wants me to help with supper, she dont do nothing no more.
Daddy please come soon
Love,
Junior
