Letters To My Dead Mother
-
September 30th, 2006 (or whatever day it is) J Mommy, When we showed her our house, it struck us. Who allowed us to bring this precious child home? Who allowed us to be parents? Only time will tell if we could handle it together and alone. I was not ready for the awesome responsibility of…

September 30th, 2006 Mommy, You have a granddaughter. It was not an easy labor! When I was a few days overdue, I was so afraid to stray from home. I could not even bring myself to go down the street to get a tea at the local coffee shop. Fear was right around me. The…

January 6th, 2006 Mommy! I had a doctor’s appointment because my period was a week late. I was resigned to that fact that it was probably the endometriosis again and that it could mean a more drastic surgery. I was stunned to the news that I was 5 weeks pregnant. After being reassured that it…

August 20th, 2005 Mommy, After almost thirteen years of marriage, we were told that I could officially not have kids. All the bouts of endometriosis have cause severe lesions in my reproductive organs. This pretty much cancels out conceiving naturally. The problem stems from me and not him. I am not devastated by this confirmation.…

April 12th, 2001 Mom, I did it. I broke away from the daily grind of meaningless retail jobs and got freelance work in the film industry. Doing background work is the best schooling I could get to learn the ins and outs from the film business. I have already done enough to know that this…

May 30th, 1998 Mommy, The worst has happened again. Katie called me when I was at work to see if I had a car (I did not). She said she wanted to go to the hospital. I told her to call my hubby. She eventually got hold of a friend. She said she will let…

March 23, 1997 Mother, Being an adult sucks. I am stuck in a job that I hate. It is a ‘career job’. The pay sucks but I got benefits for us. I still day dream of what would have happened if I tried harder to pursue Hollywood. I went right from high school to marriage.…

September 14th, 1992 Mom Well after a whirlwind of graduating high school, odd jobs, we decided to not move into together but to get married! We have been engaged for some time. We were waiting till I turned nineteen which I will turn in a month. Then we were going to do it on the…

March 21st, 1990 Dear Mom, Tonight I met a boy that I knew before. Only this time when we looked at each other-it was like the movies- like it was a light switch blazed full power on. Alex was a friend of one of Jackie’s boyfriends from a couple of years ago. He was a…

January 15th, 1990 Mom, It has been a whirlwind of social awakening for me. I had a wonderful Christmas holidays. Traveled around town, visited with friends and rested. I have a lot of catching up to do. I did go to a few parties. I only tired a few drinks but nothing too outrageous. I…
