Letter #8



To my dearest son, 

I am afraid of facing the outside world as of right now. I know that I need to go to school to make a better future for our family but I don’t know if I can face other students and teachers. Of course all of my teachers know what is going on and they understand that time heals. It’s just the question of when I will be ready. 

I have class tomorrow and I’m not sure if I can bring myself to go. I’m scared of having to explain myself to the other students of where I have been and getting those sad eyes all over again. I don’t want people to feel sorry for me, or think that I shouldn’t be there or that I should be at home comforting myself. I want to come off strong… but it’s so hard.

I miss you so much… I’m not sure where this letter is going this time. All my others have been towards what your daddy and I have been doing for your wellbeing. And now that you’re gone I don’t know what to do for my wellbeing, or for the wellbeing of your father. 

He’s working so hard to provide for us that he is being run into a wall. The other day he got bit and stung by a wasp and has been feeling horrible ever since. And the worst part of it is that I can’t do anything to help him. I don’t know what to do to help him. I wish that you were still here… it seems as if when you were with us that I was more clear headed, that I knew what to do, when to do it and how to do it. 

Yes, I get right now that my head isn’t supposed to be clear, and that some think it amazing that I get up every morning and find time to smile and laugh. But it is so hard not knowing what to do… all I know is that I wish you were here…

I love you so very much… and so does your father. You are our world…

Love,
Mommy and Daddy XOXO
