Dear Les

Dear Les,
I figured you would be a really good person to write to today. I've had a super long day and I've always looked to you as a role model so keeping you in my thoughts is a good thing right now. How are you doing? Have you been able to go out and see Kate at all this semester? Will you be able to? How about Claire? Do you go up there often to visit or does she come down at all? I imagine everyone's quite busy so it's probably hard.
I don't know if I've ever told you that you're one of my biggest role models. I honestly hope that someday I can grow to be such a loving and caring woman such as yourself. You're pretty much a second mother to me and I'm so glad that God put you in my life. I'm also glad that you're such good friends with my parents and despite me moving away that I still get to hear about what you're up to and get to see you when I visit home. I hope that continues for the rest of our lives and I'm almost sure it will.
I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis today and couldn't help but think about you and how strong you are in my eyes. At first I wasn't sure who to write a letter to while in the mood I'm in, but then I realized you were the perfect one to write to. I don't want to dwell on this illness so I'll move on, but I guess it's one way to get the word out there. Prayer would be much appreciated.
Life's busy here otherwise. I'm enjoying the last semester of my undergrad, but can't wait to start my masters and do something a little different. I really enjoy my area of study and am happy for now to continue on that path. I love the church and community I have here so that's making it really difficult for me to even think about leaving NL in the fall, but we'll see what God has planned. Maybe he'll make my life simpler by just letting me get into one university haha.
Well I'd best get some rest.
Miss you. Love you.
Sincerely,
Yvette
