Today is the first day the movers are here, helping us prepare for our move back to the US next week. Cleaning out my desk, I came across a note from my mom to my nephew Josh. He had let me borrow it before we moved to The Netherlands. Mom wrote it back in August 2005, just 3 months before she died of thyroid cancer.In the note, she reflects on her life. Back to her childhood and choices she made around schooling and career. And finally thoughts on her cancer and treatment: http://www.thalassa-stjohn.com/char%20letter%20to%20josh%20aug%202005.pdf
Rather moving (so to speak) to make this rediscovery just as we're about to relocate to the Northwest. I'm only sorry we won't be able to see her there when we arrive. But it's comforting at least to hear her voice through the words she penned...just the other day.
