Kids, thanks for choosing us to be your moms.

XXIV.September Letter

I am not 100% sure if this chapter is canon to the story or not. September is National Suicide Prevention Month here in the US so I felt now would be a good time to load up and send out this part. This was written to one of you. I care for every one of you and I am grateful for your presence in my life. If Jo was here she would say the same. I wouldn't be the writer, the woman, the friend, the person I am today if not for every one of yalls presence in my life. My door is always open so please don't be afraid to shoot me a DM on Instagram. Those of you I talk to somewhat regularly; hello I enjoy our conversations immensely.

I am grateful you exist.

You are needed in this world.

You matter.

Your life has importance.

You are more than that one moment.

Those things that hurt you. Those don't define you.

You are worthy of happiness,

You are worthy of love.

I love you.

I am grateful you are here.

I think you are amazing.

I see you.

I hear you.

I am blessed to know you.

Without further ado...

Jo walked into the kitchen after finishing her morning run. Lizzie was busy cleaning the dishes while Bettan, Addie, and LK enjoyed breakfast on the island. Jo walked over kissing the kid's heads, "Good morning,"

"Good morning Mama,"

"Mornin,"

Jo laughed at her son's tone as she made her way around the island. Jo wrapped her arm around Lizzie before she kissed her cheek, "Good morning to you,"
