found letter...

my sister found this letter tucked into one of our mother's books just the other day. it arrived last

night with the basket of dishes she was returning to me.

a treasure our mom wrote back in 1997 when i was living on the east coast,

one that she never sent.

i believe in Providence.

this was supposed to arrive

yesterday

and start with the words

"Dear Gret,

Here I am...."

an answer to a prayer and a hug from my mom

and to be reminded 

that even in moments that seem so very impossible

we are never alone.

ever.

xo.
