The journey wasn't over, Mum. But it is okay now. My heart does not hurt anymore. I will never really understand why you were silent, but I can let it go now. I miss you, Mum. - Posted by: Margaret Olmstead () on: Feb 21, 2016

I miss you, Mum. For some reason this year is so hard; maybe because I can finally let myself feel. It’s been a long journey, Mum, but I think I'm finally free. No need to look over my shoulder anymore; the memories no longer terrorize me. See? I made it, Mum, finally. You know, Mum, Gabby brings you back to me. Tthe way she looks into my eyes from her deep dark pools - You're there and she seems to sense you - wonder if she has our gift... Bitter sweet, isn't it? ......I miss you, Mum, so miss you. - Posted by: Margater Olmstead (Family) on: Apr 04, 2008
