I want you to remember the place you were born.
My Dearest David,
It has been months since I have actually sat down and written you a letter. Much has happened since my last note to you. The biggest in general is our move to Greenville, South Carolina. It has been a good move for us and I am so amazed at how well you have adjusted to our "new" home, but I guess for you, home is any place Mommy is. I often wonder if you will remember any of Ohio. I doubt you will, so I thought I would sit down and tell you a little about what I will always call home and your few years there.
First and foremost there is Momo and Papa and Mimi and Papa John. Grandparents are so very important to a grandchild (and mommy!) and I hope that you will always have a special relationship with them. I hope that moving so far away doesn't change that at all. I see you sitting on Momo's lap, playing with her thumb.
If ever there were a replacement for Mommy, it is Momo! When you were sick with a horrible stomach bug, Momo held you and let you puke all over her. Now THAT my dear son, is LOVE! Also, no one can read to you like she has. She has a very special place in her hear for books and without here, your library would be much smaller, although I am a sucker for a good children's book as well.
Then there's Papa. When Mommy just wasn't able to carry you, Papa could! And no one has trains NEARLY as great as Papa's trains. I have looked far and wide to find a model "trailer" for you so you could have one just like Papa! But nothing sticks in my head more right now than seeing you curled up beside Papa on the couch watching The Incredibles. That was your favorite movie for quite a time.
I also love seen you "work" with you Papa John. He is a very handy guy and so very patient with you. You would get your tools out and work right beside him. And when he had to take a trip to Lowes, you would always want to go with him. It really warms my heart and makes me smile when I see the two of you working side-by-side.
When I think of you and Mimi the picture pops into my head of you at about 6 months sound asleep on her lap....and she equally as unconscious! Will you remember that Mimi would bake cookies with you and let you decorate them by yourself? That she would take you to the grocery store to "help" her shop? I hope so. I hope that you have nothing but wonderful memories of all your grandparents.
There is so much more for me to tell you, but alas, you are calling my name asking for some Ice Cream. Your Dad is gone tonight so I think I will indulge.
As always, I love you very very very much as you said to me today. I hope that you keep your sensitive side and are never afraid to show your feelings and continue to tell those you care about of your love for them.
Good Night Sweet Child,
Mommy
