I came home to a little surprise. A little creme envelope with my name on it waiting by my door. I recognized that handwriting. I ripped it open and started to read.

Hi Sunshine,

Was sitting here thinking about you today and just wanted to let you know how special you are! Dad and I counted each day awaiting your arrival and talked of many dreams for you. You have matched and exceeded all of our expectations. You are smart, beautiful, empathetic and kind. I know that God has great plans for you. The yellow brick road is right in front of you... one step at a time.

Love you always- you know that we are here for you!

Love, Mom and Dad.

Mom always knows what to say to make me feel better. And surprisingly, she always knows just the right time.

After my experience with the psychic, I was visibly shaken. My Mom heard what she had to say to me and Mom knew who she was talking about.

After I read this I reached for my phone to call you to tell you about the wonderful card I got and how much better I feel. I stopped, put the phone down and grabbed my computer instead.

I'm an open person. I want everybody to know about every great thing that happens to me. But I can't do that with you anymore. I know you read this once in a while, so maybe this is my way of staying connected to you, without actually calling you. I think that is a great way. I can get out what I want to say, and I know eventually, sooner or later, you will read it and understand. This gives me my freedom as well. I'm not used to it and I can feel my mind fighting me.

Just grab the phone Kelly... just do it.

I can do this. I'm going to try and treat this like a game. Right now, I can't go a minute without you passing through my mind. But lets see if I can get to two minutes. Eventually an hour, maybe two? Then a day. It will get easier.... I'm counting on it.

In the meantime, at least one person is thinking about me :)
