Teddy's Letters
Dear Miss Thompson,
I just wanted you to be the first
to know. I will be graduating second in my class next month.
Very truly yours,
Teddy Stallard
I sent him a card of congratulations and a
small package, a pen and pencil gift set. I wondered what he would do after
graduation. Four years later, Teddy's second letter came:
Dear Miss Thompson,
I wanted you to be the first to
know. I was just informed that I'll be graduating first in my class. The
university has not been easy, but I liked it.
Very truly yours,
Teddy Stallard
I send him a good pair of sterling silver
monogrammed cuff links and a card, so proud of him I could burst! And now today
-- Teddy's third letter:
Dear Miss Thompson,
I wanted you to be the first to
know. As of today, I am Theodore J. Stallard, M.D. How about that? I'm going to
be married in July, the 27th, to be exact. I wanted to ask if you could come
and sit where Mom would sit if she were here. I'll have no family there as Dad
died last year.
Very truly yours,
Teddy Stallard
I'm not sure what kind of gift one sends to a
doctor on completion of medical school and state boards. Maybe I'll just wait
and take a wedding gift, but my note can't wait:
Dear Ted,
Congratulations! You made it, and
you did it yourself! In spite of those like me and not because of us, this day
has come to you. God bless you. I'll be at that wedding with bells on!
