Dear Bennett,
I'm sorry that I hadn't sent you anything for your birthday this year, we've been struggling pretty bad financially. We got our own first apartment back in January and it's been really difficult money wise. I've been washing a lot of our clothing in the bathtub and hanging them to dry on the line I made out on the porch. We couldn't even do much for Lailah's birthday because we just can't afford it. We went to dinner and that was it. We live paycheck to paycheck. I was working but recently quit because my depression is pretty bad when I work, it's difficult for me to function properly. So Justin is working full time on over nights. It's difficult but well worth it for me to be able to stay home with Lailah and Noel. I function really well when I am not working. It's just that we are pretty poor. I hope that you understand one day. Just because I can't afford to send you a bunch of gifts doesn't mean that I don't love or care about you. I do, very very much. <3 I think about you often and I hope that you're growing and thriving well. I believe your parents are doing an exceptional job at raising and caring for you. At least I truly hope that they are.
I love you
