Camilla my mother, not a day goes by that I don't think about you still. You raised me all by yourself, with the help of wonderful family and friends and I made it to adulthood -- just like you always wanted. The world is not the same without your light. The tears I've shed could fill a bathtub. The pain I still feel in my chest when I reach out to you and feel nothing come back is strickening, but everything is still happening in the order you said it would. And I'm hanging in there.
The good news is that I reached out to Dad, flew out to meet him and his side of the fam on the east coast, and found a place where I feel I can still belong. There have been so many questions answered, but still some needing your input that we wish we could ask you. I'm an uncle now, on both sides of the family. I met Darrius' son and talked to my sister's daughter on the phone -- looking forward to meeting her.
I'm still trying to make you proud, finding my own way. I'm making a lot of headway but there is so much more to learn. I hope you've been getting my prayers. Thank you for everything you did for me in this life. I look forward to paying you back in the next :)
