Dear Lulu:

Good to read your update! I read your ever word even though I am not responding to every word.

“It was nice being called beautiful“- it makes me smile to read this: beautiful Lulu, it sounds Lovely!

“I think what was most jarring was everyone saying how different I looked when I didn’t feel or act any different“- I guess you don’t feel different from one day to the next, but them not having seen you for many, may days, could tell the positive difference.

“Yesterday, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out… and asked the nurse if she loved me over and over again… I kept apologizing for not being perfect… My mom and the nurse hugged me and told me they loved me and it was going to be ok“- I am glad the hugged you and told you that they love you.

No one is perfect: not the nurse, not your mom, not me, not anyone. You are in good, imperfect company, Lulu!

“My current goals are graduating on time with a smile on my face, keeping up with my antidepressants and healing from my mouth surgery. I’m still nervous about college, but I think that I’ll be fine so long as I keep my confidence up, so I think I’ll be fine.”– You are fine, Lulu!

“In the meantime, how have you been Anita?“- tired but fine as well. The rain stopped, summer is approaching quickly..

Take good care of yourself, Lovely Lulu!
