Well Sweetie,

You can imagine what a lump this post has left in my throat! What an amazing child! Somehow I was surprised by the response? Why? I guess I still have this fantasy that when we put our hearts on the line our words will be received as they were meant. Stupid me! Guess you will have to work double duty in the love department but that won't be any problem for you.

I am like you Lis in that I love Fall. Somehow it makes me feel like everything is about to start over and also I have great memories from childhood. So get those decorations up and make it as special as it has always been for them. No doubt things have and will change but you are their constant, their rock.

Love you Sweetie and hug the kids for me!

Bethie (send candy!)
