Dear friend,

I know I haven’t written to you a while because I have been trying to participate more. I’ve met more friends and have been trying to be as social as I can.

Last night two of my new friends came over for dinner. My mom cooked and we all sat around the dinner table. After we ate we watched a movie.

Even though she had been gone for a while, it still feels different to not have my sister around. She’s coming down for Christmas tomorrow as well as Sam and Patrick.

I’m planning on staying at Bob’s Christmas night with everyone back together. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them all and I’m excited. I usually go to my family’s house but this time I decided to stay.

I also picked out two gifts for my mom to give to her on my birthday.

I know it isn’t much but I’m in a rush so it’s all I have time to write. I hope your well and I’m planning on writing more this week.

Love always,

Charlie
