The lost letter from mother to daughter

Dear my sweet little pepper,

I guess by now I have left this world along with your brothers. My darling girl, my Freya. I know you might not really understand what happened or where we went but trust me, I wouldn’t leave if I didn’t believe that your father couldn’t take care of you. Yes, he may burn the breakfast at times or do something crazy but he would never hurt you.

In these coming years you’ll become a lady and the woman of the house. I want you to remain the kind soul I have raised you to be but that doesn’t mean every so often you can’t show a little back bone and show how strong you can be. Because if push comes to shove, you will need to be strong in this world. Just don’t forget to lead with your heart instead of your temper.

We both remember how you threw a fit when your father and I told you that we couldn’t keep Ceillia to be a sister for you. How you wanted to trade the boys for her. Oh how I am going to miss your little face when I leave this world.

Before I take my leave, I have to ask you to take care of your father. I know I’m asking such a big thing from such a young girl but as much as your father thinks he is a big tough guy to protect you (which he will) you have to protect him as well. Lean on each other if need be. Just don’t get mad at him when he does something wrong, my loving daughter. He sometimes goes left instead of right. Does the wrong thing instead of the right thing. Just don’t let your fiery temper get the best of you when it comes to your father.

I must go and join your brothers now. Until we see each other at the pearly gates. I’ll have a tea party set up for us. Maybe your brothers will grow out of being pranksters by then.

I love you my little sweet pepper my Freya.

Love,

your mother

ps. I am sorry that I didn't get the chance to teach you how to knit like planned maybe Theodora can teach you how to or maybe you can try sewing. Try to put that temper into something creative. I also hope you find someone who does love you all of you not just on the surface but also your full heart. Just remember my sweet Freya I will always be with you.
