would visit you in a year or two.
mother, i got pregnant right after you left, so i was not able to visit you that year. after that, every time you wrote you mentioned getting older and not feeling well but not to worry; everything would be okay. when i received your last letter i knew something was wrong. it was very short. you were probably so sick you had to force yourself to write even that.
there are still so many things i want to share with you – how we enjoyed the harvest of snow peas from our garden, how our baby girl is just starting to speak in sentences.
