Ditto what everyone else has said. It’s very special that you share your heart for your mom with us.

I really enjoy these letters to your Mom. I almost feel as if I am eavesdropping on your conversations. I never feel like I have much to say in my blog and thus don't say much. Thinking I should do a weekly letter to my Dad but would that be copying? well yes, but copying a great idea I must say. [Glenda, I'd love to read your "letters" to Bill. I didn't know your dad all that well, but the more I learned about him, the more I wish I'd known him better. I just find writing to Mom helps me process the missing of her in my heart and maybe some day my grandchildren will learn what their Muz was like ... which is the main reason I write these letters.]

Just caught up on reading my “gregengland.com” posts. Glad you had a great time camping and some time off.

Muz’s funeral was very different from most funerals I’ve attended. I felt that everyone there had a deeply personal and yet varied experience with your mom. It is quite a special thing to be able to reach people in a way that is so authentic and touching. Muz could make you feel that you were one of her most favorite people in the world when she visited with you. And I think the beautiful thing is, you were. I am glad to see the conversation with her isn’t over yet.

[You and your family definitely were among her favorites.]

What a sweet letter and so “real” sounding, you know. Like you’re really on the phone talking with your mom. It’s the kind of phone conversations I have with my mom quite often. Not a lot to say, but I just want to hear her voice and spend some time with her.

I really like your Friday conversations with your mom!

I hadn’t thought about Jackson and fireworks, but wow, will he like them! That is going to be SO much fun being with him for the 4th.

And, he’s a sweetheart to want to come see you so badly that he throws a fit. That is way cool!

Hope y’all have a great 4th of July. We had planned to spend ours with good friends over on the Miss. gulf coast, but since Wed. night I am in intense pain again from my pinched nerve. This morning it is worse than at any time since this all began 3 months ago and has been unbearable (as in wanting to go to the ER for an injection of something way stronger than the pills I’m on). But, in the past hour or so has eased up some as the meds I took earlier began to kick in.

Many blessings to you all today! And I can’t wait to hear about Jackson’s response to the fireworks.
