Step-by-step explanation:
Dear Mother
I hope this letter finds you in good health. These past two days, as we've been traveling away from our home in Kansas, have been filled with a mix of emotions. On one hand, I feel a sense of anticipation and excitement for the opportunity that awaits us in California, where I am hopeful that I will be able to find work. On the other, I am filled with a sadness that I have to leave the home where I grew up and the people who I love and care about.
I am optimistic that our family will be able to make a new life for ourselves in California. I have heard that there are many jobs available and I am determined to do whatever is necessary to provide for you and the rest of the family. That being said, I can't help but feel concerned about the unknown challenges that may arise. I will do my best to stay positive, while also being prepared for the worst.
No matter what lies ahead, I will never forget the values and lessons you have taught me and the love that you have provided me with. I look forward to seeing you soon, and to sharing with you all that I experience in this new chapter of our lives.
With all my love.
