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.
