Open Letter to Mom - The Sequel
Dearest Mom; It's been over a year since you left us. God we miss you. We've begun the process of moving on...and it hasn't been all easy...but you raised and taught us well. The kids are doing ok. They miss you a ton...especially Billy...but they still laugh and smile and when Brookie starts getting mischievous I swear that grin she gets...that's yours. You're still a presence Mom...and I don't see that ending anytime soon. I'm writing though from an airplane...because what you told me would happen has. I'm flying home from Sun City AZ...where I just spent the last week and a half getting Dad setup. It was an amazing road trip Mom...and I found myself thinking a lot about the trip we took across country in 1987. Dad and I had a blast. We kinda...pushed it. As in forgetting we stayed in Joplin MO the second night of our trip in 87...so figured we could make it from Greenfield IL to Amarillo TX in 12 hours. The answer is...NO it can't be don...
