Jeff. I thanks to you for listening to my writings. You are first of so many to write back. Today mum is 72 old years and we have big celebration with her friend of lots of years Olga from across the street. Olga gave her three finest potatoes she could take from store. Mum chewed right in biggest one and has three teeth broken. I use my dentisting works and have a bucket to catch all of the blood. The rest the animals will clean. Mum sleeps now and will always remember this birthday I'm sure. How old your mother is? How does keep her teeth? Tomorrow I works and stretch out to run by the old river. I very much love running and don't mind smells so much from factory next to river. Sometimes rats and cats run behind and try to bite my feet so I hopes not falling down or tripping in holes. I'm hoping not see old uncle Victor in two days but he say last time he can not wait to show me the ropes when he comes back. We don't have ropes and I have not ever liked jumping since I was small. I would like see your Amcrica but is so far away. Maybe we save money from working if I get working job. You do not yet tell me what for you are working. Do you make something with hands or dig in the mines? My papa was for going to mines and had black coughing lungs. He say always to have black fingers and skin make him ghosty and he tries to scare me and mum at night sometimes. But then mum one night sticks dad with a sharp knife and now i believe he is more ghosty still. And we had to dig a hole behind the house almost all night. Mum say papa happy to end up in the ground where he spends most times in his life. I hear mum calling now for more vodka and her teeth need a new rag for blood so i must go. But please to me right soon so i know you are alive and breathing airs.
