As I was writing I told her that I regretted not knowing her better and not making the effort to have a relationship. I can only imagine the stories she must have locked up inside of her. I cried thinking about what will be lost when she leaves this earth. Then I asked her if she would write to me. It's never too late. I hope that she will. I will cherish anything that she is willing to share.

letter two
I just wrote my second letter. I wasn't sure who to write to at first. I sat quietly for a few minutes and let people come to mind. Suddenly my grandmother popped into my head. My grandmother is 98 ( I think). She has a full head of super-white hair and is a rock. I do not have much of a relationship with my grandmother. It's not something I spend a lot of time thinking about. My parents were divorced when I was 8 and building relationships with his side of the family was difficult. Anyway, I think about her...old and lonely. Sitting...waiting to die. I don't think she's very happy.

I hope you don't mind that I'm following your letter writing. You are a very wonderful and loving person and I will contiunue to pray for the best for you especially for your relationship with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteCheryl is my very thoughtful niece who has added me to her love letter list. She deserves to receive a love letter herself because she has been a wonderful inspiration as a single mom who has not let anything keep her down. Oh maybe she has her moments but she has always sparkled that special something that someone special out there should want. I am so blessed to have such a ondeerful niece who isn't of the me generation but of a sharing, caring, loving, and talented beyond imagination. This projexct is just one of her talents shining through to bless others. Keep on beaming your light Cheryl my sweet hearted niece!
