Hey Mom, just wanted to say Happy Birthday. I put some flowers on your grave from Laura and me today. I saw the card that Dad left for you. I sure hope he gets your plaque in there soon, it is looking messy.
After I put the flowers on, Jack, Will and I walked over to the pond to feed the ducks. We had a few crackers and a loaf of bread. Those ducks were hungry! If you didn't feed them quickly, they'd nibble at your hand. Jack had to run away from a few of them!
I had an idea today. I've been wanting to go walking somewhere at night. I thought about the park up in Dawsonville but it closes at 10. I think I might go walk in the cemetery. I saw a man walking there today and it gave me the idea. It seems so peaceful there.
There is so much going on. I know you already know about it so I won't go back over it. Even if you were alive I doubt I'd tell you because I wouldn't want to worry you. I'm trying to be strong but I feel like I'm crumbling from the inside out.
Love you,
Anna

Dreams About Grandma?
Hey Mom,
Just wondering if you had dreams about Grandma after she died. You never mentioned it to me, if you did have dreams. Any advice on how to stop having nightmares about you? It isn't really how I want you to visit me (not that you can control that).
Not much going on here. The funeral home called tonight to say that your death certificates are in. I thought about calling Dad to go pick them up but I thought twice about it. I'll just do it myself.
Your birthday is coming up. I'm not really sure what to do about it. I know I'm taking Dad to the airport that day. He is flying down to see Laura. Am I supposed to still celebrate your birthday? Am I supposed to ignore it? Would you be hurt if I didn't do anything?
The kids are doing OK. They went on a really cool field trip to a trout fishing farm this week. The pond there is filled with so many fish that they guarantee a catch. Jack and Serena were beaming that they caught fish! They gut the fish there at the farm and you get to bring them home. We cooked them tonight. The kids couldn't stop talking about what a fun day they had! William is good, too. He is talking so much and really has control of the potty training. I'm sad that he won't know you.
Miss you,
Anna
