Too Busy for Little House

By Kim Seong Eun & Cindy Juyoung Ok

I had heard I’s cousin has addiction
to the medicine. I feel so bad for her.
Text me when you are in train. I miss
you.
          Please have room to rest in
the summer. Your last summer was
too packed.
                    I am so happy to hear you
will take Korean class. I want to talk
with you more and deeper.
                                  I remember every
moments we share ... feelings, smell
and your face etc.
                    Find simple one with border
pattern.
          If you don’t have time, ask me.
It is miracle ! I really happy how you
changed mature.
                    I will respect your decision
but they are who pray all the time so
please remember. Thank you We are all
proud of you.
                    Did you clean your room? Take
a picture of cleaned room and send me
or I will go again to clean. Why don’t you
get new sheet by on line? They looks too
old.
          Good, I hope you can reduce medicine.
