Dear Sybille,The delay is understandable. The end of the school year will be here before we know it. How does that feel? You are growing up so fast Sybille. I know father would be proud. I know I am. We all are. Keep up with your studies, I know you can do well.
If you do bring this topic up with mother once more, I must insist you keep these matters away from Lucille. She will be near her due date and if things turn into an argument I do not want my wife stressed. Any yelling and I promise that I will side with mother out of frustration. I care deeply for Lucille. Understand?
