Love, Rosie (245 page)

good
cry,
but
being
here
is
a
nice
distraction.
Not
only
that,
it’s
a
nice
place

to
grieve
if
you
have
to.
Kevin
doesn’t
understand
me
at
all,
he
thinks
I

should
be
wearing
black
and
visiting
a
graveside
every
day
like
a
miserable

old
soul.
But
I
won’t
do
it.
Honestly
I
don’t
know
where
he
gets
his
way
of

thinking
at
all.
We
have
three
weeks
left
and
already
the
gang
are
talking

about
traveling
some
more
after!
They
have
a
lot
of
contacts
in
the
travel

world
so
we
could
get
some
really
terrific
deals.
I
may
as
well
keep
spending

my
savings
because
it’s
no
good
wherever
I’m
going
next.

I
hope
Katie
is
getting
on
well
in
Ibiza
and
that
Brian
is
taking
good
care

of
her.
He
seems
to
have
turned
into
a
decent,
hardworking
man
so
I

wouldn’t
worry,
my
dear
Rosie.
Could
you
please
pass
on
the
enclosed
letter

for
Katie,
I
wasn’t
sure
of
her
address.

I’m
sure
you’re
delighted
to
have
a
bit
of
peace
and
quiet
while
you’re

studying.
I
hope
Ruby
is
leaving
you
well
alone
too
and
not
dragging
you
out

for
too
many
nights
on
the
town!!

Good
luck
with
the
studying,
love.

I
love
you
and
miss
you,

Mum

Hi
Rosie,
just
a
quick
e-mail
to
let
you
know
the
great
news!
Teddy
and

I
got
a
cheap
last-minute
holiday
to
Croatia
today.
i
199
each
for
a
fortnight

including
accommodation
and
flights.
How
cheap
is
that?!
The
reason
for

the
cheapness
is
because
the
flight
is
leaving
tonight!
So
I’m
throwing
all
my

clothes
into
my
case
at
the
same
time
as
typing
this
(multitalented,
I
know).

Do
you
think
it’s
too
late
for
me
to
get
the
perfect
beach
bod?
Maybe
I
won’t

eat
the
food
on
the
plane
and
we’ll
see
what
difference
that’ll
make.
Maybe

I’ll
fit
into
that
thong
after
all,
ha
ha.

Just
wanted
to
wish
you
farewell
my
friend,
I’m
sure
you’ll
be
delighted

I’m
gone
as
you’ll
finally
have
a
bit
of
peace
to
study
now.
I
hope
you’ve
fun

when
Alex
and
co.
come
over
on
their
hols
but
remember
he’s
a
married
man

now
so
don’t
do
anything
I
wouldn’t
do!!

Take
care,

Ruby

Rosie,

Greetings
from
Hawaii!

As
you
can
see
there
was
a
change
of
plan!
My
crazy
wife
decided
that

Hawaii
would
be
a
far
nicer
resort
than
Ireland,
why
on
earth
I
have
no
