DEAR MOM

BY ARIELE JEROME ROSCH

DEAR MOM

HAPPYMOTHERSDAY.THIS BOOK IS YOUR PRESENT.

You look so surprised that I would

give you a present. Am I that bad of

a daughter? Yes, yes, I suppose I did

move to another country (Peter still

thinks that you and Dad hate him for

this - I tell him that he is correct).

WHAT?!YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT LAST PHOTO. SERIOUSLY. AND

NO, I’M NOT TRYING TO BLACKMAIL YOU. IF I WAS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL YOU I WOULD USE A PICTURE

LIKE THIS (NEXT PAGE)

THIS IS A PICTURE OF

YOU TAKING A SHOT

But blackmail isn’t what this book is

about. It’s about how much I love you.

So stop staring at me like that.

I’ll be nice now, I swear.

I HAVE EVERYTHING

I WANT. REALLY,

EVERYTHING THAT I COULD

POSSIBLY DREAM OF

and that is because

you made me believe

that I could be and do

anything that I wanted.

Thank you.

I love this set of pictures from Christmas 2005. We were trying toget just ONE good picture of you and Dad after everyone had left.

Instead, this happend.

I LOVE MY MOM!!!

I LOVE MY MOM!!!

Happy Mother’s

Day to the best

Mom in the world.

OK, OK , I’LL VISIT SOON.
