Letters from Mommy's journal
(Written the day before her surgery; Natalie passed on a week and a half later.)
Dear Jonathan,
You are my first-born, my precious baby boy. Yuo have gotten so big I can't believe you are almost as tall as me or that you'll be 9 this July.
I want you to know that I love you. I know I haven't always been the best mommy but know this much--no matter what--I will always love you.
You are such an amazing little guy. Never stop dreaming, imagining or being creative. I know that if you want to you can be a great artist someday. You already are an artist.
Believe in yourself. I do.
Again, I love you. Never forget that.

Dear Anna,
My sweet baby girl--being your mom has been a joy.
I am only sorry that I've been sick so much of your life. I'm sorry that we haven't cuddled more, that you haven't read more to me. You are such a smart little girl. Yes, I called you a little girl because even though you are almost 7--you are my baby girl.
You are going to do just fine--in school and in life.
Never forget that mommy loves you, and so does God.
Mommy

I will continue to pray for Jonathan and Anna Nattie. You were a good mother. Many times I have thought that I was a horrible mother but my children are grown now and they tell me I was a good mom...even though I was a little crazy sometimes. We will miss you!!
kisses and hugs,
Dee

Oh my god, I've got tears running down my face.
The kids are in my thoughts...
You're doing a great job keeping her memory alive.
