Dear Megan, I'm so 7...... to hear about everything you went through. We were quite worried when you didn't arrive on Saturday, but once I got your 8......, I understood what had happened. Please don't feel bad — Uncle Rob knows it wasn't your fault. The dinner went well, and many of his colleagues came, but we all wished you could have been there. Your idea of 9...... is wonderful. Uncle Rob would absolutely love that. How about Thursday evening? He's been 10...... to try their new lobster special. And I'm sure he'll be thrilled with the gift from 11...... — he's mentioned that shop so many times! See you soon, dear. Love, Aunt Linda
