Letter to Lisa

This letter is written to be saved until I have left this world.  Some people write wills.  I have nothing to will, but all  my life I have not wanted to leave things undone.  We never know when it is time to step out of this life.  So please don't allow this letter to effect you negitive.  I am just making sure that these are here in case they are needed in the future SOMEDAY.

Dear Lisa,

I am writing you to tell you that I am sorry that your mother blames you that Robert and I are not together.  I wish I could have changed her mind. I tell her all the time that he was just on his way out when he met Rachel at your house.

You and I have been though a lot together the sixteen years, and we even lived together after my divorce.  You have left me without telling me so that I can get a baby sitter, you have been mad at me because of my ex boy friend, and you have talked about me.  I hold no grudge. 

I know how your life has gone.  I have stood by your side with helping with your children (as you have mine while I worked or dated), and I have seen them ripped from your care.  I know that there really isn’t much left in your life until you find it for yourself.  I know that for my self also.

Lisa, I know that at the time this letter is written you are mad at me because Matthew took you stuff that you left at my house for the fifty dollars that you borrowed from him.  I had lent you money before this, and did not expect it back.  I did tell you that he was different, and that you were dealing with him.  When he did not give your things back, you became mad at me.  Well, I know how it feels to loose things so I will give you a hundred dollars to you so that I wont hurt because of him.  It is your choice how you want to feel about me afterward.  However, my feelings have not changed.  I love you as a sister, and I know with a life that has taken away your heart, you need someone to be mad at.  I guess that I am the easier choice.

I just want you to know that we all make mistakes, and that you can find Lisa again.  I know because I am on the hunt for my self.

Please stop bringing the children into my pain.  I would never do that to you.

I hope that you, Robert, and Willadean all grow closer.

Thank you for the memories good or bad.  They help to make up who I am.

Sincerely with fond memories,
Your sister-in-law, and friend
