My Final Plea

Dear Robyn,

I sit here at the kitchen table as Ellen pieces together a children’s puzzle depicting a scene of the Piazza San Marco and Basilica in Italy and I cannot help but be hopeful that this blog entry will in some way help to persuade the decision that has come to pass regarding Ellen’s ability to join my month long sojourn to Europe. This trip will, without question, be one to remember and I for one hope to have Ellen there with me because I do not feel we have an opportunity like this again. We have excitedly discussed the possibility of this trip for many months and though there have been some obstacles in the planning process everything has smoothed out quite nicely and we are now officially counting down until the departure and I for one am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to go abroad. But the trip will mean so much more and be exponentially more memorable if I know that I have Ellen there with me to see it all. I know Ellen has the same feeling and would be so grateful to come on this trip. Therefore, I hope that this is the final plea necessary to make the decision a positive one and in the immortal words of Mr. Tim Gunn “make it work.”


Sincerely and please please please let Ellen come,

Keri
