A．Dear Mom,

       Every time it’s your birthday, I remember all the great birthday parties you gave me when I was growing up．I especially remember the one when I turned to 16, and the words you and Dad said to me．Now I hope you enjoy the birthday party I’m holding for you．

Yours,

B．Dear Dan,

       It’s over! High school is now part of the past．But consider what your graduation day really means, aside from the gifts．It’s the beginning of a life filled with goals that only you can attain．You’ve made it through 4 important years, and we’re confident you’ll make it through anything else you’ll have to face．

Very truly yours,

××××

C．Dear Tom,

       I’m 16, but my grandmother treats me as if I were 5．She uses a baby voice around me, which is really annoying, but I’m afraid to say anything because I don’t want to make her feel bad．How can I tell her my feelings, and let her know I’m growing up?

Love,

××××

D．Dear Tina,

       I was almost unwilling to open your gift because it was so wonderfully wrapped．The paper was just lovely! I want to thank you for thinking of me．I’m sure you spent hours making this lovely sweater, and it’s so soft that I feel as if you’ve sent me 100 hugs．Every time I wear it I’ll think of you．

Very truly yours,

××××

E．Dear Aunt Pam,

       Thank you so much for the cards and gifts you sent me for Christmas．I hope Uncle Mike and Little John are well．Next week I’m going to my father’s for the holiday．I wonder if you could come down and visit us．I haven’t seen you for nearly two years!

Love,

××××

F．Dear Mom,

       I think you’re the greatest．I know you have faults, but I can’t think of any at the moment．You deserve much more than this small gift in return for everything that you’ve done for me, but it’s all that I can afford．Hopefully, by the time I become a mom, I’ll be able to be as giving to my child as you’ve been to me．

Love,

Dear Sucre,

       I understand exactly what you’re telling me, and I think this problem is very common．Don’t forget that, from your grandmother’s perspective, even your father and mother are just babies．Talk with your parents and ask them to talk with your grandmother．I’m sure they’ll be able to explain to her that it’s time to stop．

Yours,

Dear Amanda,

       Glad to hear from you! We haven’t seen each other since waiting at the Cincinnati Airport for that connection to London．And I’m really missing you! I’d love to see you, but Mike and I plan to visit the Lake District then．Please say hello to your dad．

Yours,

Dear Michael,

       My dear son, you’re growing up so fast, and turning into an impressive person．I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep after the party．You know, you really gave me a big surprise when I entered the room, and made me realize how considerate and kind you’ve turned out to be．

Love,

××××

Dear Amy,

       Thank you so much for your gift．Best of all for me, though, was to see that you’ve become an independent woman．I’m sure you’ll succeed in whatever you do, sooner or later．And some thing you can be sure of: I’ll always be proud of you!

Love,

××××

Dear Linda,

       You are the most caring and self-accepting person I know．I think of you as my soul sister．At this special moment, this sweater I made with my own hands seems like the best way to express my feelings．I wish you a great birthday, and a great year ahead．

Yours,
