Cynthia: 1905 - 1980 Love your daughter Marilyn.

 
Today is your Anniversary of 38 years in God's place. It is interesting how the years flew by. I hope I have accomplished what you wanted for me. I am a poetess and author now. Although I have not sold a book yet. I have been thinking about you over the past few decades. And I wonder what you think. I need a sign. You probably know why I have not been able to visit your gravesite. And put my favorite rose there. I have missed our talks. So, I write what's in my heart. I'm almost 75 now about the time you left me. And yet, it feels like yesterday. You weren't here when I married. But I'm sure you two are together waiting for me. I miss the love we had and I know its value. I only want to know one thing, do I continue on this path of writing? or is there something else I should be doing? I need a sign. It doesn't feel like you're gone, but we can't physically meet. However, I feel your presents or is it, my husband? I write asking what is my gift? If I am using it correctly? So, I end with your approval and His. What I must do? In spite of everything I love you, Mom. I need a sign.

I have found with myself, writing is not something I do but who I am. I have never been able to stop for long. Though I have had to do many other things to earn a living. Great read! Blessings my friend.
