Dear Kitty,
             I've spent most of today with Mum and Dad, and it's been wonderful! We've been walking up and down the Champs again, and I've shown them my church, and we saw the Eiffel Tower, and - well, it's just been wonderful to see them again. I've really missed them since I came back. Tomorrow, they're coming to my church service and then we're going out for lunch before they leave - I was invited to lunch by someone in choir, but this time, I think I'd rather be with Mum and Dad. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person.
             One thing I've noticed is that they tell me so much more, now that I'm independent and living by myself - and I tell them more too. We had a proper conversation tonight over tea - a really serious one, not just the typical sort of giggles and jokes that we usually have. I feel like I'm finally being treated like an adult, and yet still sometimes, I'm still their little girl - but it's the right balance now, and I'm happy.
One other thing: you know how when you were younger and you had friends over, you always hoped that, when their parents came, they'd stay for a cup of tea so that you'd have more time to play? It's weird being the one drinking the tea all of a sudden.
Yours,
      Frano
