Dear Grandmother,

I finally found some time to write to you. I hope you and Grandfather are well. I am sorry for not reaching out and being so less available on call these days. I have my semesters coming in the next month so I was busy preparing notes, doing revisions, and organizing my weekly schedule along with the daily routine. I am tired and craving for some butter tarts, apple pies, and my favorite lasagna of yours.

I have ultimately arranged my schedule and completed my first set of revisions, being peer tutoring and getting ready for the exams. Is it okay if I could meet you and Grandfather after my exams on October 30th at 4 pm? I miss you both and I am thrilled for our visit soon after my exams to enjoy some leisure time. Mom will join us soon after I arrive after she finishes her supervision at the factory for a week. We can plan on going on a trip to Banff this time when I arrive and have lots of fun.

Yours truly,

Sanjana
