The Letter
Chapter 5
When I finished painting the Loving My Life, I just put it away like I did most of my works. As I sat up in the attic today though, I wanted Momma to see it. I wanted to show her that I was happy. It’s all that Mom had wanted of me and I was happy. The picture was one that I had worked on for weeks. It was the picture that I was doing to eventually have in the living room so all my aunts and Momma would see it when they went by it. I hadn’t gotten up my nerve yet to ask Momma to hang anything that I had finished but I was working on that. I was so proud of the strong women who were in my life and their love for me was not something that I ever doubted.
I had planned to show Momma my painting when I got back from camp. One of the coolest things about her was that she wasn’t nosy. She wouldn’t snoop during the time that I was away. She would probably have Sonja come up and clean one day when I was away but she had even had her stop cleaning my room when I asked. Momma told me as long as I didn’t let it get too messy, it was mine to do what I wanted. I made a concentrated effort to only bring water up and never ate up there. I didn’t mind bugs in the woods but didn’t want them in the house and more importantly in my studio or bedroom.
I wasn’t sure how she would react to my picture. I hoped that she saw what I felt when I did it. It was purely my way of expressing my love and security in what had become my life. She as the expert though, who knew what she would read into it.
I walked downstairs and into a hug from Aunt Kit. She and Lyss were sitting at the table talking about music as they usually did. Lyss was really finding her niche in something and Aunt Kit was doing all she could to encourage her. Lyss was pretty good. I know that Momma had been looking at pianos for her so that she could practice more often.

Well..my eyes are perma-puffy from reading the chapters of this story. I love the story AND your writing. Can’t wait for more!!
This is a beautiful story very moving, so time for the wish to come true and for our ladies to meet:)PPS
Heyyy newagegirl! this chapter was beautiful. Emma is at the key stage of growing up and she won’t be a little girl anymore. It’s time for her to find her mother someone to love as a partner. So lets wait until Tina gets in the picture. Can’t wait to see how you make that happen ;) Hope it is Emma who makes Bette fall for Tina, or will it be love at first sight???You know the other day I had a twisted idea. What if Tina is Trisha’s lost twin sister??? =P I know I might be crazy ^_^
As for the last chapters…you again leave me in tears! You have such a beautiful way to describe emotions…it’s breathtaking! I liked your storys so far but I really LOVE this one! Every chapter is special in it’s own way. Thank you
Again you brough the tears, The values that the ladies has gving these two young ladies. That will help them in the future to live in this big world. Love the wish that way maded in Bette behalf when the balloons where turn loose. thanks
i had to read this before work… and again the tears… love this story… please no more tears…PPS
that was such a beautiful chapter and a beautiful party. the way you describe scenes… amazing. Can’t wait for more more more!
Good Lord, I’ve cried more today than I have in a long time. You gotta stop with the stuff that makes me cry, really now. And I’m no old softie either. Your stories have brought me to tears too often. Emma is quite a young lady and very talented and a little more mature than most twelve yr olds. I guess that stems from being around the adults so much. So now, we are at the part when it will be time for Tina to emerge in a little while. Can hardly wait to see how you bring their meeting about. I’m sure it will be a very interesting occasion. Love this story. Post when you can.
i’m like the others here all teary eyed, Em seems to be maturing, her mom’s letter helped to understand that her momma should find someone to love again…well since bette is off to NY me wonders if tina is somewhere in the area???? maybe? ok i can wait :)PPS
Em is a great daughter making a wish for her mom to be happy. Now Bette gets to meet the beautiful Tina Kennard who can help her heart heal. It doesn’t hurt that she has all the qulities that made Bette fall in love with Trisha.
Your creativity at expressing love is opening my heart as I read – thank you so much.
Ditto with the teary eyes. I hope Ms. Kennard will be coming into the picture real soon!
My girlfriend is getting worried about me crying all the time while reading on the computer.LOL. you are writing this beautifully. Hope ther are manny many more chapters.
Wonderful. How can a child with such unconditional love and support around her fail to grow into a strong and compassionate woman? That’s one lucky kid!
Damm NAG your slamming them out there faster than I can read em. If ever Tina was not going to be in this story I’m thinking your readers aren’t going to let you away with that. These two little girls are very lucky to have all the love in their lives that they do and maybe someday if you write a sequal too this story with them all grown up, there will be that much more happiness in the world. You do a wonderful job. I was smiling like I was looking at something presious the whole time. Oh ya,I was. Thank you, Md
OMG NAG that butterfly thing was genius at the end of this chapter. Where do you get this stuff??? You are out doing yourself again with this new story!
