Dora's Letter
Josué,
It's been a long time since I sent a letter to someone. Now I'm sending this letter to you.
You're right. Your father will still show up and, for sure, he is everything you say he is.
I remember my father taking me on the locomotive he drove. He let me, a little girl, blow the train whistle the whole trip.
When you're crossing the roads in your huge truck, I hope you remember that I was the first person to make you put your hand on the wheel.
It will also be better for you to stay there with your brothers. You deserve much more than I have to give you.
On the day you want to remember me, take a look at the little picture we took together.
I say this because I'm afraid that one day you'll forget me too.
I miss my father, I miss everything.
Dora
