Mother's Day note

Dear Mom,

I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day, and I'm sorry I was so far away. Jon and I tried to coordinate a gift to split but we didn't quite get it together, and Dad wasn't very interested in helping, either. In any event, I'm sorry that all I could do was a card, but I'm writing to tell you that I've decided to come home in June, even though I will most likely come alone.

This will make my life considerably more difficult but I'd like to spend some time with you and the rest of the family before I come back here. I also would like to put your worries at ease because I'm not nearly as lost as you think. I'm mostly just frustrated at being broke and being powerless to immigration law which is making me and Eli's relationship rather challenging. I don't know what I want to do with "my" career, but I don't have to know yet. I'm still young and I reserve the right to be confused and broke until I'm 29, because that gives me a year to really get my shit together. I may seem lost but I have lots of dreams brewing, and I'm confident that at least one will pan out.

So I suggest you shift all of your worrying energy to my brother, and try to convince him to come back with me to Brazil, where I will find him an Amazonian shaman to try to get rid of his headaches. That or the mago up the street.

Love,
Rachel

Best. Mother's Day Present. Ever.
Now don't change your mind.
And what happened to this site? It looks all weird, and the columns are too narrow...
