Letter to My Children (December 24, 2013)
Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Joshua and Christina,
It's is the day before Christmas. I have been awake since 3am, up reading my bible, thinking and praying our family will be together again. Please come home for Christmas. Or if you cannot travel, call and we will come to you. Only let us be together. Please, please come home.
Sometimes it seems I cannot keep living with such pain in my heart. I know your father and sister feel it too. I love you all so much, and there is no anger or condemning here. Just sadness and longing to have you close again. To be able to speak with you, hear how you are, hear your voices, see you. No matter what you have done, no matter what you have become....come home.
Love your own mom.
