Dear Lily，
I am so pleasant to have a word with you about what you are going through right now. It is natural that people often miss your parents the first time they leave home. The fact is you cannot live with your parents forever. Most people had to leave home for higher education or employment. It is important that you should realize that present separation contributes to the healthy and optimistic personality.
You need to make friend in school and share ideas with those live closest to you now. Because you will still，miss your parents，your new friends will bring happiness and joy to your new life. Beside，I suggest that you enjoy yourself by taking an active part in various activities in school, from whom you will get much pleasure.
Wish you happiness every day.
Faithfully yours，
Editor
