Welcome to this world, love!

Dearest,

I sent you a letter this morning. It’s a crucial time now since the baby might arrive any moment.

I dialed your number time and time again in vain. It looks like mission impossible. The problem is that I always receive delayed and indirect news about you and I need to know everything, but a jailed person is under the mercy of ugly circumstances.

I received a nice card from Frances and Ron, with the picture of a polar bear mother with her two cubs “sunbathing” on the snow.

We had awful food last night (chicken liver – tasteless) and I agreed to take an extra container, but I couldn't even finish one. Today's lunch was tasteful (mashed potatoes with meat). I got 3 Euros worth of canteen stuff (water, milk, grape juice). Not bad. I ordered this stuff a long time ago.

I learned from Samia that today is Bulbul’s [baby’s] day. Welcome to this world, love!

I talked to Samia after trying in vain two zillion times to call you. She conveyed to me the news about the scheduled delivery and it was really good news. At least I can now say congratulations. I hope all goes well! Tomorrow, I’ll get the confirmed news... It’s midnight here, 6:00 pm your time.

Are you Bulbul in this world now? It’ll be Wednesday in one minute here so better come out before the end of Tuesday... Welcome!
