Love, Rosie Read Online Free PDF

delighted to see you when they visited Dublin,

    they can’t stop talking about you and Katie, we’re all so proud of you.

    Happy 21st! Sorry I couldn’t make it home to celebrate with you, but

    things have been crazy at college. Because it’s my final year here there’s just

    been so much work to do. I’m dreading the final exams. If I fail I don’t no

    what I’ll do. Sally was asking after you, I no you’ve never met but she feels

    like she nos you from me talking about our old times so much.

    Katie’s teething is really bad lately

    Katie is starting playschool soon

    Katie said grandma today

    It was dad’s 50th last weekend so we splashed out and went out for din-

    ner to the Hazel restaurant where I believe you went with slutty Bethany and

    her rich parents all those years ago for your 17th. It was good to be able to

    let my hair down and relax without Katie. I hired a babysitter, so that was

    my treat for the weekend.

    Alex

    3-year-old child
    In case you didn’t know, I have a 3-year-old child which makes it rather

    difficult for me to go out and drink myself silly, otherwise I wake up with an

    awful headache and a screaming child who needs me to look after her and

    NOT to be sticking my head down the toilet.

    Sorry
    Rosie, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to come across as being insensitive. I just

    meant that you should remember that you need to enjoy life too. Look after

    yourself and not just Katie. Sorry if I hurt you.

    A moment to whinge
    Oh Stephanie, sometimes I just feel like the walls are closing in on me.

    I’m only 23 and I feel like I’m 43. I love Katie. I’m glad I made the decision I

    made, but I’m tired.

    So bloody tired. All of the time.

    And that’s how I feel with Mum and Dad helping me. I don’t know how

love, rosie
    51
    I’m going to cope on my own. And I’m going to have to do that—I can’t live

    with Mum and Dad forever. Although I really want to.

    I wouldn’t want Katie depending on me so much when she’s older. Of

    course I want her to know that I’m here for her always and that my love is

    absolutely unconditional, but she needs to be independent.

    I need to be independent. I think it’s time for me to grow up now Steph.

    I’ve been putting it off, running away from it for so long. Katie will be start-

    ing school soon. Imagine! My baby starting school. It’s all happening so

    quickly. Katie will be meeting new people and beginning her life and I have

    left mine behind. I need to pick myself up and stop feeling so sorry for

    myself. Life is hard, so what?

    It’s hard for everyone isn’t it? Anyone who says it’s easy is a liar. There’s

    this huge divide between me and Alex right now because I feel like we’re liv-

    ing in such different worlds, I don’t know what to talk about with him any-

    more. And we used to be able to talk all night. He phones once a week and I

    listen to what he’s been up to during the week and try to bite my tongue

    every time I go into another Katie story. Truth is I have nothing other to talk

    about but her and I know it bores people. I think I used to be interesting

    once upon a time.

    Anyway I’ve decided I’m going to visit Boston finally. I’m going to finally

    face up to what my life could have been like had Alex gotten on that plane

    and made it to the debs with me instead of . . . well you know who. I could

    have a degree now. I could have been a career woman. I know it seems silly

    to put all that’s happened down to the fact that Alex couldn’t make it to the

    debs but if he had come then I wouldn’t have gone with Brian. I wouldn’t

    have slept
