Dear Serena,

So the day has come and Yunique has given birth to a beautiful, heathy Baby Boy. Honestly all I can think about is and what your face would look like holding your grandchild. Is completely beautiful. I was technically trolling through Yunique’s facebook 2 to find your grandson’s complete name and I came across a picture of your greystone. Now I went to your funeral I saw what you look like in that coffin it broke my heart. First I already know you and I had a discussion when you lost your baby and your mom passed away that you didn’t want to be buried in the ground that you wanted to be cremated. That scares me more than anything that when I die that somebody is not going to listen to my wishes. Second the post with the picture on Yunique’s Facebook page says it’s hard for her on your birthday. I commented on that post and after I was done I felt like I was being insensitive because I commented that March 10th it’s harder for me then November 10th. Which March 10th has just passed by a few weeks ago. When I think of that day I think of a fight or an argument that we got into that removed us from your life. Something so insignificant that should have just been squashed from the very beginning instead it made it impossible for me to tell you what you being in my life meant to me. It got in the way of us being a family like we were. It was reason we were not there when you needed us the most.

Hey girl this past year I have been able to be apart of Seth and uniques lives without really being in their lives without a rooting them and forcing them to care about us. Honestly you need told me she couldn’t remember what they were right Seth had to call me on a face chat so that he can remember my face. What scares me more is I hope that they never forget yours. I hope they never forget your voice. I hope that in all the mistakes that we made that’s hey grow from them and make their own mistakes and live their own lives.

Seth and Yunique were the first children that I loved unconditional, that where not blood related to me. My experience with them is the foundation of my parenting tactics. The funny thing is, that Wesley has shown to be far more patient than I am with our kids. Is excellent at explaining more difficult subject matters in a less complicated manner. I wish you could have met my daughter Neva. She is a trip. Sometimes things come out of her mouth and I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or slap the taste out of her mouth.
