Dear Mama and Papa,
I am finally feeling a bit better! Rae came to see me the other day and said I am allowed to walk around a bit with the help of another. I usually walk with one of the women in the estate. My only enemy is stairs. I can’t walk up or down them without wanting to scream; I am carried when it comes to stairs. I will admit, it hurts a bit to walk, and I have to put a lot of weight on whoever I am walking with because it hurts too much to put weight on my right side, but I am hoping it will get better the more I walk on it.
Papa has started my apprenticeship on animal healing with Miss Airele. The majority has just been testing, but I have learned a bit already. She is very kind, and from the few days of working with her, I feel more ready than ever to pursue my passion for helping animals. I know I will do amazing if I put all of my efforts into it!
Miss Eira has become very dear to me during the time I have been injured and stuck in bed. She makes delicious food for me to try. I love speaking with her, and sometimes I feel we can sit together quietly enjoying each other’s company. I know she will make a great mother when her baby comes; I just hope she still has time for me. She is my best friend. She can also be like the mother I need when the time calls for it.
I miss being among my family and others in the Pony; I hope I can make a trip there when Lynn comes to visit me next. I won’t be able to walk much, but I only sit at the Pony anyway. I will have to ask Rae if I may visit the Pony.
I am rather tired, so I shall stop writing. I love you both very much.
Love,
Syl
