Dear Mom,
I know that it has been a while since we spoke. The summer has been very busy. I have some news; I quit my job and am starting a home daycare. I know that you approve as I got the sign. I am very excited but nervous at the same time. We laid you to rest in June and Steve Lawson did the service and it was a beautiful tribute. The whole family came back to our new home. Other news, we got a puppy. Her name is Summer Storm. She is a hand full but adorable. You would have loved her.
Dad is doing ok. We all went camping in the motor home last week. It was not a great week with the weather but it was relaxing. I am so not stressed out anymore. It must have been CMA.
I have some bad news, the family is still not getting along but we are trying. Kirk has returned home but I have not seen him or spoke to him as per his choice. I simply told me that I was not ready to see him. I hope that you understand. Please give him strength to stay on track. Life is so hard since i feel that i not only lost my mom but my family. It sucks. Steve and I trying for a baby which is fun and exciting.
I just wanted to let you know that I think of you always and will miss you until we meet again!
I love you!
J
