"I AM WAITING FOR YOU TO COME HOME RIGHT AWAY"

Vera wrote the following in her letter:

"My dear daddy, I wish for you to come home right away, but my wishes don't come true. Mom said that some wishes, even if they are late, definitely come true. That's why I keep wishing. This year, I wish for you to come home right away, for it to snow a lot, to play snowballs with you, and for two hair clips, one with a pine tree and one with Santa Claus. Four wishes is a lot, I don't want anything else. I have my toys, we will play when you come. Daddy, I love you very much. I am waiting for you to come home right away. Vera."
