The Letter
Chapter 6
Today was such a good day. Emma seemed really happy with the gifts that she had received and with the time that she had spent with her family. Going to the cemetery although hard, it was good to be able to visit and know that I was didn’t fall apart afterward. It shows me just how far I’ve come. The gifts of course were probably over the top for a girl her age and I had questioned them but relented and allowed her to have them after talking with her aunts. It was me having the harder time allowing her to grow up. She was not someone who asked for much. She became fixated on the item that she wanted and concentrated on that. If she didn’t get, like at Christmas when she asked for an iPod, she didn’t get upset. She seemed to understand when I told her I didn’t feel that she was old enough yet for things that were so costly and she was appreciative of those things that she did receive. That didn’t stop her from campaigning for the items that she wanted but she was not angry or upset if she didn’t receive them.
When Shane had first approached me with the idea of getting Em a cell phone, I had resisted. She was my baby who was always with an adult. She had no need for one. Shane pointed out to me that regardless to what I wanted to believe and how hard it may be for me, she was not a baby any longer. She was becoming a young lady and as such, she would start to hang out more with friends and away from family. Her having a cell phone was not a necessity but in this day and age, her having one should make me feel more comfortable because she would always be able to be in contact with me or one of her aunts if she needed. Shane said she realized that she didn’t need one but she was able to add one on to her plan for minimal cost and Em would love it. I only agreed when she told me that she would pay for the first year of service and then Em would have to work to pay for service in the future. I hated thinking that she was growing up but knew that she was and for her to earn the money to keep the phone working would teach her a valuable lesson.

With her babies all tucked in their beds, Mommie can play with the big girls. Hope that Bette can meet Tina,in NY. thanks for this post.
come on tina… love this story
Take your time. Em is really an old soul in a growing body isn’t she?
Em is an amazing kid and so is Lyss!(to be expected i supposed when you have an amazing mum;)) well written as always, i’m completely invested in both your stories so will take whichever one you’re in the mood to write and update. there is a calm about your style that I find addictive and intriguing.
Emma really seems to be considering what Trisha told her. I can just imagine how difficult it must be for her to imagine your mother with someone else that is not your other parent. But as long as she understands that she’s not betraying Trisha’s memory Emma will be fine with the idea of Bette falling in love. I love this chapters that give what the characters are thinking so we can get to know them better. Great post as always. I told you Tina being Trisha’s sister was crazy =P
Ya know NAG this is the perfect bedtime story. I ment to say in the last chappy that you really must pay attention at work or convinscate some good stuff, but your knowledge of the Jonas bothers is just spot on with 12yr. olds. I just learned of them last weekend from my neices. Looking forward to catching up. Thank you, Md
Well thank god the Jonas Brothers are for 12 year old, ’cause I was feeling old when I didn’t recognize them. That was beautiful…this whole story is just perfection!
that was great I have been reading fro the begining but this is my first post on this story and I do love it and I can’t wait to see what will happen next please post soon great update I love it
I think you promised another commenter no more tears for a couple of chapter…wrong! You have set the family up perfectly, and I’m looking forward to spending some time with Bette on her 6 weeks of grown up time :-)
Are u gonna make every chapter teary eyed? i was thinking maybe tina can be on business in NY and just happen to run into bette, tina doesn’t have to live in NY… okay need to look for the tissuses again.. :)PPS
Very sweet – Em is quite mature in her response to the letter but I do like how she’s taking her time to absorb. I just have to say in your story all the characters are more mature than the TV version – it is the one thing I dislike about TLW that the woman are so so insanely immature for their ages. Anyway, thanks for giving another view. And thanks for your message and mostl of all for your beautiful writing.
