Dear Arlyn in the past,
I am writing to give you a little "heads up." You said once that you wanted a lot of kids. Is six enough? You will have six beautiful children (one at a time, thankfully) and they will be the source of joy, but also frustration.
You will have 3 boys and 3 girls. And then there will come a time when you will be grateful for the balance. The girls will drive you crazy with their drama, but the boys will tear your house apart! Either way, you'll tear your hair out. Take lots of vitamins.
Oh...and don't get the nativities out until 2015 or later (unless you like to buy lots of new sets).
Good luck!
Love, Arlyn

Dear Arlyn in the future,
Things are going well enough here, as you already know. I was just wondering about some things.
Do you ever end up running away permanently? Do the kids ever break any bones? Did everyone grow up to be respectful, honest and kind? Do they marry and reward you with grandchildren? Did you ever get to put up any of your Christmas nativities?
I could use a tiny bit of encouragement...I'm sure you know exactly what I mean!
Love, Arlyn
