I'm sorry this took forever and ever to write back to you. God is being very nice to me, and I miss you too. No, sweet pea, I'm not cheating on your beloved daddy. I love you two. I won't be back homes for a real long time so don't wait for me, please. Give your dad a kiss for me, and I'll write back soon. Also, I'm sure that Conner has forgiven you for changing his grades, cause you sure are a pretty girl. I forgive ya two for breaking my necklace. With all love,
Momma.

Momma wrote back to me? "Daddy! Momma wrote back to me!" I yelled. Could you believe it?! My mommy loves me and God is being really nice!
She forgave me too! But she got a lot of mistakes, huh... And how would she know Conner forgave me or not? I still feel real bad for it, and he's ignoring me.
Daddy said Momma can see ALL from the heavens. Maybe that's how! I begin to write a letter back to her.
Today, during class, I found Momma's note in my binder. In my binder were my drafts of letters to her before I handed them to Daddy to give to the post office to send to Heaven.
I'm pretty sure no one saw my letters besides Sarah, the girl next to me every day. But Mommy's letter to me didn't have a return address or nothing... and it was written in chicken scratch. But Daddy always said Mommy's handwriting was messy.
I hold Momma's letter to my chest, and squeal. I feel so happy! I love my mommy.
