Dear Tom,
Well, this time next week you'll be somewhere in Europe on a train. I'm sure any mum would worry! Actually, you're very lucky. I'd love to (1) be able to go off around the world.

Dear Tom,
Well, this time next week you'll be somewhere in Europe on a train. I'm sure any mum would worry! Actually, you're very lucky. I'd love to be able to go off around the world. I often wish I had travelled more when I was younger. I really hope you will do be careful, won't you? You're only 18 after all. Do take care with your money, won't you? And I'd rather you didn't spend too many nights in your tent alone. It's so dangerous. I suggest you only stay in a proper campsite.
I wish you weren't going quite so soon. It's a pity you can't stay until after Dad's 50th birthday. But never mind. I won't be at the airport to see you off, but he's got some really important business that day.
Suppose we plan to see you in June?!! Just a thought.
Anyway, just remember, if you get into any trouble, we're only a phone call away, and come what may, we'll always be there for you.
Love, Mum
