Dear Mam’ma

I know it's been seven years since we've seen you and we don't really talk but I just wanted to let you know we'll be coming down soon. After Christmas. The family and I. I know you don't really like my mother and you haven't even seen some of your grandkids...ever. I also heard you that you aren't feeling too good lately. I heard that you might have Alzheimer's. I heard that it ran in your family. I hope that's not true, even with everything you've put us through. I also read the poems you wrote for me and Abbey when we were born. I loved them very much. Thank you. I just have one question (though I know you'll never answer it) Why do you despise us? What did we do? What did I do? Please don't tell me that I'm not old enough to understand. I'm not a child anymore.

So this is the letter to you that I'll never send. I hope you understand this is hard on us all.

Love,

Your Rosebud
