Letters from Camp

I found a bunch of letters Dated 1993, Which were written by my son from camp And forwarded to me. It was his first time staying there, For one month, in a bunk. He was away, with new routines And he was in a funk. His letters said he missed us And was homesick just at night. Aside from that, it seemed that he Was managing all right. A theme that was recurring Mentioned we should send him stuff. It sounded like, to him, our parcels Weren’t filled enough. This summer, his own son’s at camp - First time, a different place, But now in photos sent We see his mostly smiling face. His emails sound more upbeat (Just a tiny “miss you” cloud), Though he can’t request a package Since today, they’re not allowed.
