Write your letters to the dead

I am about to crash, I have a real heacy buzz right now and I have a lot on mind...so I thought I would write my mom a letter, which I used to do quite a bit...now that she has passed it sure would be nice to let her know what is going on with me and my life...

Dear mom,
Hey..what up? How is everything? Is death really all that it is cracked up to be..haha...I really miss you, it has been such a crazy year..dad moved out here he lived with M first, but he was bored and hated it there, he wanted to go back to Ohio but we knew in his condition that would be terrible..well, no one wanted to believe you, but you were right about dad, he is seeing things and really, really paranoid, he has gotten to a point at my house where he will only step outside with me.
I had a really long talk with M and said it is not really a good idea to move dad with me to SDiego..we need to get him on a normal routine with dr visits...we are doing are best but it is really hard for us to deal with this sometimes...cause it is just hard to believe..
As for me, I am doing ok I guess, it is my birthday and I didn't get to talk to you this year..It makes me really sad, well, this is the first year so I am sure it will get easier every year...know what my daughters game me for my birthday...a pack of gum each and a card..I thought it was pretty cool.

love you MOM, D


write who you want

I'm sorry.
Your letter is sweet.

I would probably write my grandma



hey grandma, i miss you. I'm sorry we weren't closer. i know you're in heaven. put in a good word to god for me :)))))

I lost my mom and dad within 3 months of each other 2 years ago. It was very hard. I'm just now coming out of my funk. My letter would have to be to both of them, since I know they are together.


Mom and Dad,
It's been a tough few years. I miss you and think of you daily. I miss the hugs and advice more than anything.
So, Dad... is there life after death as you've always believed? Somehow I don't doubt there is. It seems I can feel your presence all the time. That means you must still be "around".
Mom.... "T" got married, as I'm sure you know. I think it's a huge mistake. Somehow I think if you wouldn't have died she would be a different(and single)girl. It changed her. You guys were very close.
Tell Bill "hi" for me. Has it really been 10 years ??!! Boy, I miss you, bro.
Until I see you again,(and I know I will) and our broken family chain can link again.
I love you. Thanks.

Grandma:

What's up? I miss ya, it's been about 12 years now... We all miss you. Pop is dating some bitchy gold-digging hag. She severed the ties with the family, and she keeps him in the house, the curtains always drawn to keep the light out, and the doors constantly locked. She's really paranoid about someone breaking in, even though she lives in a very great neighborhood. We all think Pop would still be more with it if you were around; he's just lost so much cognitively from her constant anxiety and clingy issues.

We moved 7 years ago to the country, same county though. The family that lives in your old house are friends with us, so your spirit just keeps on giving. I miss you, you were a great person to be around. By the way, we lost your sweet pickle and iced tea recipies, I think Pops lost them? Can you email them to me? I left a comment on your Myspace, you should check it out.

I. LOVE. YOU.

Yeah its sad but still good to remember those past.....To my aunt , I still think of you often and miss our tallks.You were the only one in the family that always had time for me .I miss that,hope where ever you are you are happy and in peace.

My Dearest Melissa,

I loved you so much and loved us being togeather. I felt complete with you at my side. I never knew love could be so powerful like it was with you.

There was so much I wanted to tell you and show you in life, but our time togeather was cut to short. The night the millitary showed up and said " We regret to inform you that Melissa Marlin was killed in an accident on her way home", My mind spinned and my heart went cold. The trip to the morgue was like eternity for me. I kept thinking they made a mistake.

When I saw you on the slab covered in a white sheet and they pulled it back I knew you were gone. I held you in my arms knowing that you couldn't hold me back anylonger. It was hard and I didn't know how to take it, so I ran. I couldn't accept that you were no longer here and so I kept everything away and lived with the pain of not haveing you for 20 years.

Honey I miss holding you and my arms ache to hold and embrace you. I keep wondering what life would have been like and if we had children would they be like you, loveong, kind, always laughing.

I can't keep living with the pain anymore. I'm shacking just telling you this. I will always love you, but it time to let you rest so that I can rest and find peace in my life again.

A great friend has helped me get through this, he wouldn't let me run anymore and had helped to face the painful part of grieviing for you so that I can let you go.

Melissa, I wish more than anything that you had listened to me that night and came home to me were you belong, but you didn;t and I'll never know why, but have to accept the fact that you are gone physical;ly and that are life togeather willnever be.
I love you so much and want you to rest now. When ever I see ducks swimming in a pond I will think of you and how you use to try and get them to come to you so you could pet them. It was one of the many things I loved about you. The way you enjoyed life and found amusement in everything. I wasn't able to do that after you were gone, but now it's time for me to go back in to the sun and start living.

I love you and want the best for you, but I also want and need what is best for me now too and to go on with my life. I placed our rings at the head of your grave, and recently let go of the flag from your casket - It was time to clean so I could go on.

Melissa I love you very much but I know that I can't have you woith me now and I can never hold you again and I'm OK, I will get through this and willalways know that I did love someone who loved me and cared for me, in a way that only true love can bring.

It's time for me to go now and let you have the rest you have waited so long for.

With Eternal Love
