Dear Isabella,

My dearest daughter. My beautiful baby girl. I love you so much. If you are reading this, then that means that I am no longer of this world. I know that you are probably mad at me for not telling you about the cancer. I know that you are probably even more angry at me for not telling you about the limited time we had left together. But baby, I didn't want you to know. I wanted to enjoy the time I had left with you and I didn't want you to have a dark cloud resting over you during my final months.

My little girl, I remember the moment I found out I was pregnant. I was so scared and alone. I wondered how in the world I would be able to take care of a child when I could barely take care of myself. A friend of mine said I could always get and abortion, but I knew without a doubt that I never would because I already loved you more than anything in this world. I remember when I was in the hospital and I held you for the first time. You were the most beautiful thing in the world; you still are.

I made you so many promises as you slept in my arms. I promised to love you with everything in me. I promised to make sure you knew just how much that was. I promised that you would have a better life than I did. I promised that you could be anything you wanted to be when you grew up.

I don't want you to be sad for me sweetie. I had an amazing life, Bella, and you were the best thing to ever happen to me. You deserve nothing less than happiness. Sweetie, I know you are not happy right now. Jacob doesn't make you happy. He is a great guy; and I know you think you may be able to love him one day and maybe even be happy, but take it from me baby; life is too short for maybes.

Bella, you need to get out of this town. You have so much to live for and this place will only hold you back. Sell the house, take the money, and travel. See the world and what is has to offer you. There is so much more out there than just Forks, Washington. To get you started, I have purchased your first plane ticket for you. You will stay with my old friend Esme Cullen and her family in London, England. Get your passport ready sweetie, Esme is expecting your call. Your flight leaves on the anniversary of the best day of my life, September 13th, from SeaTac.

Have fun and let loose a little sweetie. Life is too short to work and worry your whole life. Experience love and live for the moment once in a while. Laugh at silly jokes and learn new things.

I will miss you and know that I will always love you no matter if I am of this world or not. Go live life to the fullest Bella and remember, life is made of little moments.

Always with you,

Mom.

So here I sit, waiting for them to call my flight. Non-stop, first class to London Heathrow Airport. A final gift from mom.

I didn't sell the house; I couldn't. Not yet anyway. Esme is excited to meet me and I have to admit that I am a little excited to see her too. When we spoke on the phone she sounded so much like my mom. She can't wait for me to meet her kids either. Her daughter, Alice, heard about me and is certain we will be the best of friends.

I am nervous and yet somewhat excited for this trip. I miss my mom so much. It has only been 2 months since her funeral but she wanted this for me. I hope things go well in London. Only time will tell I guess.

This is my first time writing. Please be gentle. I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.
