I am sorry I haven’t written here in a long time. So much has happened in my life; and I wish I could call you.
I know you would be proud of me for finally finding my worth and leaving Don, and you would be so so proud of the kids.
I finally found a good man. One the kids can actually call dad, a man who loves them the same way I do. Vanna calls him dad and it makes my heart melt.
Watch over me for the next several months. I need you. And I really really miss you. Kiss Katie for me and tell her that mom loves her. Thank you for loving her the way that you did. You were an awesome grandmother to her.
The kids have a grandma again, finally. Her name is Judy and she loves them so much. I think you would have liked her and I know you would have loved my Miles.
Even now, all these years later, I wish I could pick up the phone and call you. So much has happened and I know you would be so proud of me for finding my worth and leaving him. You never liked him anyways, lol. I miss you so so much.
I finally found a good man, a great one. Vanna called him dad for the first time when we flew to visit him over Christmas and he really loves me and the kids. You would have loved him. I know you would have. Just like I know you would be so so so proud of vanna and Jason.
Please kiss Katie for me, and come visit me in my dreams again. I might be 45 years old, but I’ll always need my mom. You left us way too soon. We all still need you.
