a letter

Dear Momma P.,

Thanks for the sewing machine. It's beautiful. I have just the spot
for it! I'm going to set it against the wall in my living room and

hang a collage of pictures around it. I'm thinking I'll hang the

picture of you and Martin with all the grand kids hanging on you.

That picture still makes me cry. I miss you. Spencer still prays for

you. Actually he's started praying that you'll hurry and get done

with your job up there so you can come back. He misses you.

Someday he'll get it I'm sure. I'm sorry that I was sometimes
a stubborn, prideful daughter-in law. I really do appreciate all

the things you did for me. Sometimes you worried too much but

it's probably just because you loved me.

love,
Amanda

ps.Tell my grandpa hi for me.
