Dear Miracle,

I hope you’ve been good since the last time we wrote to each other. Remember I notified you about my plans to move to a new place. Well, it gladdens my heart to inform you that it all worked out and I recently just moved to my dream house.

My new abode is an epitome of beauty and elegance. It’s a four bedroom bungalow painted in an off-white emulsion coat which makes it bear a resemblance to the 70’s victorian style. The balcony overlooks the River Thames and believe me when I tell you, it’s the most beautiful view any house could possess. The garden is filled with a variety of exotic plants the previous owners had been researching on. It is certainly the best present anyone could have given me.

Additionally, the neighbourhood is a vast contrast to where we grew up. Everybody minds their business here and they won’t care if you don’t return their pleasantries. However, the basic amenities are what excites me the most. It’s been a while since I lived in an area with functioning streetlights, well tarred road, a police station and most importantly, the specialist hospital is only a few blocks away.

Moreover, I look forward to my housewarming gift when you come visiting. I hope you are willing to stay for a few days though. I could really use your company at this time. I love you always.

Yours sincerely

Faith Orobola.
