Dear Mama
 
 I miss you very much. There's so much I still wanted to
share with you. I am awed and amazed at the distance you traveled,
the many struggles you survived. Every one says you were a tough
lady and they're right. That's why your passing was so shocking. I
thought you would live forever. I am grateful at least to have had
the opportunity to make up for the times when I behaved badly and
ungratefully. I loved taking care of you when you needed me. I wish
you were still here.
 
 Love
 
 Your Jeanie
