For this entry, I want to do something different. Today is my Mom’s birthday. I want to take a break from CF for today and write to her and tell her about her grand-daughter.

Happy Birthday, Mom.
You would have been 73 today.
Mom, it has been a while since my last letter. Let me bring you up-to-date regarding your grand-daughter, daughter-in-law and me.
Your grand-daughter is A LOT like you in many ways. She has your height, your hair, your heart, but most of all she has a light around her that reminds me of you. She never gives up on anything. She is very, very persistent. Oh, and she is very bright…I wonder whom she gets that from? Also, she seems to like comic books! It is too early to know if she will like Star Trek! Her Grandpa Peter would be happy to know the answer to that.
I want you to know that she KNOWS who Grandma Nancy is…she is Daddy’s mommy. She saw your favorite picture of you and me; our first photo shoot, I pointed to you and said, “That is your Grandma Nancy”.
I miss you so much, Mom. I miss your positive outlook on everything. I miss talking to you. I am going thru some very tough times now. With my CF, John’s passing, the stress of not being able to work, etc. I know that you already know all that. I just need to hear that it is all going to work out.
I just wish you could be here to look into your Grand-Daughter’s eyes and tell her, how much you love her. She would most certainly reciprocate.
Happy Birthday. You are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Andy
