Dear Mother,
It's been a week since I came to visit my Aunt Linda and her family. It’s nice to get away for a bit but I am surprised by how much I miss home, and I’ve noticed a lot since I have been here. I am worried about the family, they seem to have a lot going on and I hope my being here doesn’t interfere with things.

Since I have been here I’ve noticed that Aunt Linda is a very patient women and a loyal wife. She keeps track of everything, such as; account, bills, etc. She is very corporative and supportive women. She tries to protect Uncle Willy from reality, yet she seems to throw it in Biffs face. She...
