What a joy to finally be writing to you! I didn’t really know you were out there. To think that you have known me all this time, and I have not known you, is a little strange but also a blessing. A blessing that your ‘slow’ mother has got with the program and been in touch, at last, with her beautiful daughter.
You know about me, and I wonder about you. I wonder with a smile on my face and love in my heart, as I know it doesn’t matter about the details. Your favorite color, the music you like. Those are things of this world and I know you are happily seated in heaven.
I am so sorry that I was not brave enough to give you a chance at life. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for loving me. I feel your love. Thankyou for smiling down on your brother and sisters.
Thank you for being so patient and waiting for your mum to recognize you. I hope that not a day will go by that I will not say hello and we will have some time together. I hope you know every time I hug my children here on earth, I am hugging you too. You are part of my family. You always have been, I just didn’t know.
What a blessing you are to me Catherine. I thank God for the beautiful healing ministry of Project Rachel and the women who give their time to such a needed, yet often unknown ministry.
I pray that more women will be given the courage and strength to pursue their healing journey. All in God’s time, but hopefully quicker than your mother who was particularly slow and missed a number of pointers along the way!
I love you Catherine with all my heart, my newly healed heart. I ask you to keep me in your prayers as I will keep you in mine. Guide my steps, know that nothing can separate us now.
Please some along for the ride which is ‘the first day of the rest of my life’! I think it will be wonderful, all the more wonderful for sharing it with you.
God Bless my angel in heaven. Did I mention I love you??!
