Letter From Sue - 2007

Dear Mom,

When I think of you, my most tangible memory is of a sunny afternoon in fall of 2002 when you came to my house to baby-sit. You had your shamrock colored green pants on and a white sweater. Your white hair and rosy cheeks complemented your bright blue eyes. As the sun pierced through the window, everything was very bright and full of life. I returned home to find you sitting on my living room couch playing UNO with the kids; including a few of the neighborhood kids(always the entertainer). With everything under control you made everyone feel comfortable and at ease.

Often times I am absorbed with my daily activities and my feelings and emotions are set aside. This vivid image of you is forever painted in my mind and brings me feelings of warmth and happiness. The feeling is like sitting next to a fire drinking warm hot chocolate after a cold day of sledding.

I am blessed to have such a comforting memory of you. I miss you.

Love,

Susie
