Letter to My Children (November 5, 2013)
Dear Children,
Yesterday was your little nephew's birthday. He turned 3. So far in his little life you were only there for his birth. You allowed your father to put Noah and Gretel away while I was put away in a motel, so you refused to celebrate his 1st birthday, and his 2nd, and now his 3rd. But we remember you, every day. Gramma told little Noah the story of his birth-day. And we looked at all the pictures. And he asked who the people were- Uncle Jonathan, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Josh, Aunt Christina.
We cried on his birthday, your sister made pumpkin pie for his birthday cake, telling Noah it is 'your Uncle Josh's favorite!' Your cousins and aunt came over to unwrap gifts, we talked of you all, we missed you all, and hope against hope you would call. Aunt Jackie and I took a long walk after, and reminisced about raising you kids. You are ours, from God. We will never let you go.
I pray God will bless and protect each one of you, Noah and I pray this every morning and every night, naming each one and little PennyRose and little Jackson and soon-to-arrive baby. Hugs and kisses always and forever, Your mom
