No longer waiting to exhale


If my printer acts agreeably, I will drop this in the mail first thing tomorrow.  Then, maybe I will stop holding my breath.

Dear Mom,
I wanted to let you know that I have received your letter and am giving it great thought.   I apologize for letting so much time pass without response.  I appreciate your warm sentiments and believe there is hope and time to do better and more. 
I respect your wisdom and compassion for acknowledging that, (while you speculate/suggest that Jilan shares your sentiments), you can not speak on her behalf.  She is welcome to contact me whenever she chooses.  And from there she and I shall go forth.
I continue to ruminate over your letter and hope to put forth a commitment and plan in the coming weeks.
Love you,
Maggie

PS~  I have been unable to print, order and ship photos and that too, is something I think of daily.   Soon.  Soon.

Your thoughts are welcome here. As long as they are kind. Or maybe just not unkind.
