Dear Jean,

How have you been? I’m writing this to say I’m sorry that 1 your birthday. These days I felt there was something wrong, but I just couldn’t think of what it was. Yesterday afternoon on the bus, I 2 remembered what it was. Your birthday is this month, and it was two weeks ago! I feel so bad. I picked out a gift for you. I hope you like it.

By the way, 3 a great time on your birthday? I can’t wait to hear about it.

Love,

Linda
