Dearest Honey Bunny,
I am so grateful you allowed me to share your last year here with you and Kishore. Although I hate the ending, it was a great gift to be with you and Kishore and your doggies.
You brought our extended family back together and added Kishore and his family. Weekly hospital visits, and, when you came home, weekly visits at your house reconnected us to special memories and allowed us to support each other.
Before you became ill, in the years when you began teaching, it was fun to hear you talk with excitement about your work and your experiences with your students. I knew you had found your career that was fulfilling.
I got to tell you many times over the past year how proud I am of the amazing person you became although in fact, you were amazing from day one. As I watched you grow, you were my teacher too. I hope I learned the lessons you offered and became a better person as a result. I'm glad I got to share these feelings with you many times over the past year.
Mary Alice, it was a huge gift to have you as my daughter. I miss you and I love you and I will hold you in my heart.
Mom
