Hey baby..
I’m sorry it’s been such a long time since I wrote to you. There is so much going on over here, I never thought I’d get a life going here. But I have. Last night I hung out with all the boys, we were out drinking beer and just had a really great time! Right now I’m teaching in 1st grade. The kids are hilarious! There’s especially one kid called Adam, he always giggle when I come in the room and tell all these crazy stories about his goat named Charles. (Goodness, will he ever come to the part where he says he misses me?)
Australia is amazing. I never wanna leave. All the people here are so humble and they have really taken care of me. You should really come and see this! I think you’d appreciate it. The love of giving and take is out of the ordinary. (Bla bla bla, what about, “honey, I miss you, I’d wish we could share this together”.)
So, there’s one more thing I wanted to write to you.. (Ohmygod, here it comes). I’ve met someone. Who’s out of the ordinary.. And I just.. I’m sorry baby. It’s just that it’s been 4 months since I left now.. And.. I’m sorry. You shouldn’t wait for me at home. (A knife just hit my heart and decided to cut out a piece of it.)
I love you.
You know that.
Love,
Eric.
