I was cleaning out my closet tonight and came upon a box of pictures so I sat down on my bed to look at them. Most of them were of Jeannette. Among the pictures were a couple of small books. I opened one of the books and a letter fell out. It was a letter Jeannette had written to me but forgot to give to me because I never read it before. It took my breath away and I began to cry. I had chills running up and down my body. I started to cry so very much because I miss her. I feel like my heart wants to bust out of my chest.
Here is what she wrote:
Dear Mom, When I think of growing up I'd like to set the clock back to make up for my lack of gratitude. I'm well aware of burdens you took on, the work and worry daily life required. I saw the energy and hope in you. Your spirit that encouraged and inspired me. I know you gave me everything you could and set aside some dreams of yours for mine. I feel deeply loved because of you. I love you Ma.
When you read this post please pray for me. I am so sad and I miss her so much.
