The Old Neighborhood
My mom found this letter while she was packing up the house - it’s from one of the “kids” in the neighborhood. He’s at least in his mid-forties now. Anyway, it must’ve been a thank you note written for a wedding gift or something. It’s nice to know that it wasn’t just the kids in our family who felt the this way about the ‘hood. Okay, the line about how his life “would be nothing” was a bit overdramatic, but hey, he was 21. Now he’s a Deputy DA ; although, come to think of it, the drama aspect is probably good for a lawyer.
Dear (insert my parents’ names here),
I would like to thank you for the beautiful gift, but much more than that I wish to thank you
for the gift of a beautiful childhood. The memories of the times I have spent with you
people and the neighborhood are constantly cherished; especially to a 21 year old whose
responsibilities seem to grow greater each day. I owe you people my love and respect for
without your support and friendship, my life would be nothing.
With sincerest thanks and love,
Scott

Yeah, she really liked it. Oh, and I just found out, it was a thank you for a graduation gift.
