Dearest Emma,
You would be twenty-three now and would be getting ready to finish college. I wonder what you would have studied; would you have followed in your father's footsteps?
Masen has grown to be a very handsome man just like your father and has decided he wants to be an author like me. Yes, I finally decided to follow my dream and become a published author. I try to stay close to home when I can but there is some travel. Your father stays with Masen when I have to tour the country for my book promotions and signings.
My first book was a hit.It was about our trip to Australia and the differences I found in exploring a different country and my spiritual journey on Ayres Rock. I have also written several books on the Wiccan religion. After Masen's birth, I returned to being a practising Wiccan. Most of my books explore the differences in the craft from around the world.
I discovered through my research many countries have different practices and there is not enough written about them, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. For example, in Australia, two roles are reversed for the sun and moon. In the Aboriginal culture, the moon is the God and the sun is the Goddess. I know it seems strange, but it is their belief among many others. It was an amazing experience learning about the different variations of the craft. While I was doing my research I was able to travel to many different countries and it experience for myself. Although we only travelled when Masen was on summer break so the family would stay together.
Masen has his first girlfriend, did you know? Her name is Meghan and - like Masen - has embraced Wicca. She's also a very gifted empath and often able to read people from just observing a photo of them. That's something I was never able to do fully. As for Masen, he can still see you. He often tells me that you are in the room with us talking to him. Masen says you were the one who encouraged me to follow my dreams, so thank you.
A few years ago your father had a heart attack. I have never been more scared in my life, especially when he called out your name. I knew you were with him; probably telling him that I could not live without him and that he needed to fight to live on.
Since his heart attack, we have had to make a few changes in our life. Such as, your father had to cut back on eating so much take-out, especially when he was travelling. He also had to cut back on his travelling and workload. He was not happy.
As for me, my health has not been the best, forcing me to make some changes also: change of diet and exercise on a more regular basis, just like your father. We are not young anymore and if we want to live to see our grandchildren - should Masen have any - then we need to take care of our bodies.
Your father continues to win awards for his music, and I know you are as proud of him as I am.
I know this is a short letter, Emma. My arthritis in my hands is so bad sometimes I can't write, but there isn't much to say at this point except I love you always. I know my time is coming to an end and I will be reunited with you and Charlie.
Love always,
Mom
