My Dearest Bea,

I’m so excited for you…sweet sixteen gal. Life is opening up and it can be wonderful.  Please believe that.  The one thing you can be sure of is change.  Things are going to change once you get your license.  You’ll feel the power to go wherever you choose to go.  There’s nothing quite like that first night when you drive yourself somewhere YOU choose to go.  Just be careful, Bea.  If anything happened to you, I’d be so lost without you in this world. You know, I love you very much.

Sincerely,

Prudence xxoo

P.S. If I could write you a song, this is what it might say.

Thanks, One Direction…
