Dear Alex--


I know, it's been a long time since I've written.  I've been very busy with school and other things.  I think about you every day, though.  Every single day.  I wonder what you look like, now, and how big you've grown.  I'm certain you must be taller than my 156 cm, now.


I am now half-way through the nursing program at school.  In one year, if all goes well, I'll be a nurse.  School is difficult and very time-consuming, but I'm making it through.  Right now we have Spring Break, so no classes.  But next week we start a new class, which will be the hardest one so far.  I think the classes will only get harder until the end.  


I wonder how you're doing, and what school is like for you.  Do you have a girlfriend?  Are you getting along with your dad?  I wonder where you are, all the time.  Grandma, Grandpa and I have all tried calling you, but your dad doesn't answer the phone.  We've tried sending you gifts, but they get returned to us with "address unknown" stamped on the front.  We've saved most of the things we've gotten for you.  I've got a box of stuff for you, but if we ever meet again, you'll be too old to enjoy them.


You're my sweetness.  Don't ever doubt it.  I love you more than anything.  You are always in my thoughts and in my heart.

Shark Week

Dearest Alex,

I'm at work tonight, and I've got a little bit of down time, where I don't have much to do at the moment.

We have a TV here for the patients to watch, and it's Shark Week on Discovery Channel. Remembering how much you liked to watch those shows while you were here, I turned on that station, thinking of you. Do you remember reading in that National Geographic magazine for kids that a shark can swim up to 60 km pro stunde, and we drove that fast to the Kindergarten in Zuffenhausen? That's pretty fast!

I have to work until 23:30 tonight, and then again tomorrow night, too. Unfortunately, i have a tummy ache today, so it's a little uncomfortable for me to be here when I'd rather just lie down and sleep.

Nursing classes start again in a couple of weeks, so things will get pretty busy for me again very soon. I've had a relaxing summer break from school since May. I have two more years to go before I'm a nurse. For now, I'm still a tech at the hospital I work at.

I think you're finally on summer holiday, now, too, aren't you? I hope you're having fun and relaxing, playing fussball with your friends and doing all the fun things you like to do.

I have to get back to work, sweetheart. I'll write again when I can.

I love you, my sweetest boy...

XOXOXOX,
Mommy

To My Wonderful Boy, Alex--

I've decided to start this blog for you, hoping that someday you'll run across it.  It's taken me a little while to set things up, and I was impatient to get something journalled right away, but unfortunately I'm unable to write very much just now.  So, I decided to upload this video for you.  I'm sure you remember it and how much we laughed and danced to it, especially late on tortellini night.  I have a few others to share with you over time, but I thought you might like this best, to begin with.

I hope you're well, my sweetness and light.  I think of you every day, and I wish I could see you, speak with you, hug you, watch you grow.  I love you, honey.  You're my sweet boy, forever.

Love you always,

Mommy
