Most Important Letter

As most of you know, my sister is fighting lukemia-we write letters ever day and my granddaughter is most vigilant

Hand in hand we walk


A newly addressed, crayon-adorned envelope


Clutched in her tiny five-year-old hand


To the post office we go, a most important letter to mail


 


Over an hour she has spent


Coloring, spelling, cutting, and pasting


Her positive nature and innocence


Are incorporated and shine through each piece of work


 


“Aunt Teresa is getting better


“Cause I send her stories, pictures, and letters, and games


And, I even sent a special rock


Purple, her favorite color

This so moves me, Karen. Children have such a gift and a special way of adding their healing medicine which never fails, in my experience. May you all be blessed with strength, comfort, healingr and a continued outpouring and demonstration of your close family bonds of love and support each and every day while you battle it out. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bless you, Kate xx

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.. I had tears falling, picturing Christina doing the same! Karen- give your little girl a HUGE Hug for me - NOW - Right now! if she is there, and you tell her, from Aunty Sheee, mom's new friend, that I am Proud of her and that her love shines strong! Tell her- to ALWAYS be herself, and that she has a BIG heart! and Soul - and don't let noone tell h er different - then kiss her cheek for em- Ok. Thank YOU! and I think it's awesome that you took the time and patience, to allow her to EXPRESS herself and her feelings in her way to her Aunt T- You are an Angel in God's eyes, think of it- Your leading her heart and soul, as she is leading yours! OUT of the mouth of Babes- I am touched with your sharing this today...

The sweet innocense of a child is often the best medicine that can be offered, it may not cure the patient but it sure gives them a reason to smile knowing such love is offered unquestioningly.

Karen, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, my prayers will be for her to have a complete recovery. I also enjoyed the poem much & I love the verse where she feels her stories, pictures, and letters are helping her to get better...she's learning a powerful message through you working with her to send letters to someone who is sick. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful inspiring writing.
