"Dear Mom,
It’s been strange going to one of the places I last saw you.
For the first few days, taking care of Peter kept my mind completely occupied, but the more times I visited, the more memories I had. I could see you walking out of the doors of that west entrance I’ve gone through every day this week, see your wheelchair outside of a room not far from his, remember wanting to spend the night with you but hating having to see your pain. I even passed a few of your Dr’s in the hall over the weekend. They didn’t recognize me, I didn’t expect them to, but I remembered them, and all they tried to do for you, for us.
I like to think that you’ve been with me this past week. Going there every minute I could, and being content sitting in a chair next to his bed all day… that’s something you would’ve done. I’m glad that I’m finding myself to be more and more like you.
I wish you could’ve met him, that he could’ve met you. You would’ve liked this one, I promise. Maybe someday we can all be together. But until then…
I miss you. I love you."


Oh Susie. You are blessed. That girl is priceless. This is where I started crying: "They didn’t recognize me, I didn’t expect them to, but I remembered them."
