10.Dear Daughter,
    We have not seen you for a while now,so I thought we might check in.Did you fall off the edge of the Earth?Your mother worries,you know,and I'm just curious.Well,I am more than curious.I feel abandoned.
Apparently,you've abandoned us for your career.
I can understand that,because you've always had a wonderful work ethic.
Look,obviously your long absence has confused us.As we go about our daily routines,your mother and I are distracted-both by your absence and our pride in your career.The other day,I entered my work password into the microwave,then stood there cursing(詛咒) it for not working.And I was so off my game(狀態(tài)差) that I actually used that juicy jam your mother insisted on buying in an effort to drive me from the house.
Listen,a lot has happened since you've been away.
We have two more children-a princess,23,a boy,now 12.
Yesterday I bought a very clean 2001 Camera car from an older woman.Your mother is not happy about this.She says it is the kind of muscle car driven by ex-convicts(有犯罪前科的人) when they examine your house at 2 am.
In response,I tell her it was the car of my dreams (when I was 18).
So that's where your long absence has left us.Your long absence is not so bad,though we miss your roaring laughter…the way your cheeks flush(暈紅) when you eat Thai food.How you always march too hard into the house,like a Scotsman stepping on snakes.
Each evening,your mother now waits by the window the way she did when you used to step off the bus in first grade,your hair full of rubber bands.
Bet that drove you crazy even then,her running out on the porch like you'd just returned from a mouth-long journey from the moon.
Look,parents are not easy people.
But should the urge ever hit you,feel free to stop by some time.Our house is your house.Our hearts are yours too.
And your mother is still waiting by the window.
Love,
Dad

Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953-when the National Health Service(NHS) was just five years old-and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.
The diabetes(糖尿病) specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts(輪班)each week.
Mrs Reid said:"Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job.Working for the NHS has been my life.I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.

Jackie has lived alone in Grays,Essex,since her husband did three years ago.
The couple have two daughters Michelle,50,and Karen,54.
Jackie added:"My youngest daughter worried about me-she doesn't think I should work as much as I do.I constantly say'don't worry about me,I'm fine',but she never believes me.I don't like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever."
