DEAR MOM!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I MISS YOU!

I had a dream that you came out to visit. You’d let your hair grow so it was a blunt cut and you had a lot of freckles from the sun. I’ll call you on or around the 15the. With my b-friend leaving and not getting a lot of mail anymore, I really miss my mom.

Last week I did 2 dives in one day and today I did a great dive – through tunnel after tunnel after tunnel. This is my day off so I’ll do chores this afternoon. My friend who’s also my supervisor came back from Japan last night at 1am so I get to hear all her stories when she comes by in a little bit. 

Went out with a Korean guest last night – invited me to come live with him. How come I never (?) get the right guys to want me? Being facetious but you know what I mean. A Japanese guest gave me one of those disposable cameras.

My b-friend decided he didn’t want to date me when I get back so I’m experiencing the usual grief. Heartbreak doesn’t feel any different in paradise. Loss sucks but it’s not anything I didn’t already know.

So do something great for yourself. I’m thinking about you and will send extra special thoughts to you on the 15th your time and my time. I love you.

P.s. on the back is an example of the printed schedules we give the guests. The written part is what we keep at the info shack for our reference.
