daddy long legs

Chapter 18

Dear Daddy Long Legs:
I am a bad boy.

Forgive my impolite letter to you last week - I felt terribly alone that night, feeling ill and with a dull pain in my throat.I didn't know I had influenza.I have now been in the university ward for 6 days and today is the first time they have sat me up and given me a pen and paper.The head nurse is fierce.I am always disturbed because, without your forgiveness, I will never be healed.

This is what I look like now, with bandages tied around my head like bunny ears.

Will you sympathize with me now?My lymph nodes are swollen.I studied physiology for a year and didn't know where the lymph nodes were. How useless education is!

I can't write any more, I feel a little weak after sitting for so long.Please forgive my rudeness and ungratefulness.I have been poorly educated since childhood.

love you judy albert
