Many of you may have seen this but someone may get a chuckle. If you can't tell I am Irish and my Mum could have written this.
A Mother's LetterĶ.
Dear Son,
Just a few lines to let you know that I am still alive. I am writing this slowly because I know that you cannot read fast. You won't know the house when you com home. We moved. About your father, he has a lovely new job. He has 500 men under him. He cuts grass at the cemetery.
Your Sister Mary had a baby this morning. I haven't found out yet whether it's a boy or a girl so I don't know if you're an Aunt or an Uncle.
I went to the doctor on Thursday and Father came with me. The doctor put a tube in my mouth and told me not to talk for ten minutes. Your Father offered to buy it from him.
Your Uncle Patrick drowned last week in a vat of Irish whiskey at the Dublin brewery. Some of his work mates tried to save him but he fought them off bravely. They cremated him and it took 3 days to put out the fire.
It only rained twice this week, once for three days then for four days. We had a letter from the undertaker, in it he said if the last payment on your grandmothers plot was not received in seven days, up she comes.
You're loving Mother
P.S. I was going to send you 5 pounds, but I have already sealed the envelope.
