Translation of Nocken

Hello, I am John, I'm 29 years old, I have lived in Heidelberg all my life, I have a son and I am working at Lenzemanner in the South of Germany since 1980. I look forward to hearing from you.
If you go to the shopping mall to buy shoes, it takes an hour and two stores until you find the right pair of shoes. But if you go shopping 'stuff' generally, it might take you an entire day to finish.
I apologize that I have not written for such a long time! Please call me on my new phone number, that would be great! How is your son feeling, has he been recovering? I am sure that he will be fine.
