Teacher : What’s that ?
Billy : It’s a letter
T : I can see it’s a letter !
B : It’s my mum's. She wrote it for when I was 18 but I opened it. Here.
T : (reading) To my son Billy. Dear Billy . I almost seem just like a distant memory to you which is probably a good thing. It’s been a long time, I have missed you growing, just crying, laughing, shouting.
B : (saying it by heart) I’ve missed you telling me off but please know I was always there with you through everything. I’ll always be there. And I’m proud to have known you. And I’m proud that you were mine. Always be yourself. I love you for ever.
T : She must have been a very special person, your mother.
B : No, she was just my mum.
I brought you a tape.
T : What is it ?
B : I love to Boogie.
