The Goodbye Letter

A father passing by his son's bedroom, was astonished to see the bed was nicely made, and everything was tidy. Then, he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed,"Dad."

With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.

"Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing to you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I

wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so

nice, but I knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercing's

tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am. But it's not only the passion... Dad she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a caravan in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many

more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't, really hurt

anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Love, your son, John.

P.S. Dad, None of the above is true. I'm over at Tom's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my school report in the drawer of my desk.

Love you!

Call me when it is safe for me to come home."

You're right..I think!! (don't appreciate the gray hairs, though!) Now the phone calls where he asks for DAD always guarantees me listening in on the other telephone :D Thank God those calls are usually harmless! Oh, waiting for the day when they officially grow up--but it won't change anything, whole new set of worries, right?

Liz
