Mieja,
I have received the picture you've sent me of your final fashion project, and I am so proud of you niña. It was all very lovely, and I'm quite sure you will receive many offers once you decide to go out there and offer your designs, and I hope the young girl you gave your creations to realizes her luck at being able to wear the very first of your work, for some day I know it, you will be famous.
I do miss you very much mieja, and I cannot wait to see you this summer. I hope you will spare a few weeks to spend with your mother, because I am quite sure I couldn't bear to see you leave very soon after you've gotten back home. I do wish you might have chosen a college closer to home, or even just one where you might have stayed on campus rather than gotten your own place to live. Now it truly feels like you will be leaving home forever, but I suppose I shouldn't be so very surprise. You are very much like myself, but I am glad you have at least chosen to remain in the country, rather than fly off across the ocean like I did.
I have booked my flight to Kansas City already for your graduation, and I will be arriving two days early. Maybe, if you have a bit of time, you will show me around the city a little? Show me your favorite spots, and maybe introduce me to some of your friends. I promise to you, I will not embarrass you - the baby pictures will stay at home.
I have enclosed with this letter a little bit of money. I know you have designed your own prom dress, and I cannot wait to receive pictures of you wearing it. I know it will look amazing. However, I want you to have anything and everything you want for your senior prom - keep in mind niña, you do not need a date to want to make yourself pretty, buy yourself a nice corsage or spend the day before getting pampered. I may assure you, you will have a lot of fun with your friends, and I am looking forward to hearing all about it.
Te amo niña, I miss you and will see you soon.
Mamá
