Hi Mom
I'm so sorry I didn't say more when I left. I reckon I didn't want to start talking to much cause, you know I guess one of us would just end up crying. I'm not mad at dad. He is who he is. Please don't worry about me mom. I'll be fine. I think maybe this all happened for a reason. Maybe I needed to be forced to leave and dad seeing, seeing what he saw was it. Mom please don't worry. I'll be ok and I promise to write you as soon as I get to New York.
I love you mom
Michael
