Day Seven Letter One

Dear Hollywood:

Grandpup LuLu is having a fine time. Grandpup LuLu is taking great pleasure "playing" the chase game with Phoebe the water stealing cat and Sophie the brainless cat, unfortunately those two cats have not caught on that this is suppose to be a game and not for real.

Have been talking to Aunt Use To Babysit you, it sounds like we will be traveling to the funeral leaving Wednesday morning around 6. We really would love it if you decided to come with us.

You should have seen your Dad the other day. My client is having us help him sell his Harley. It had to be moved from in front of the house to the garage around back. It was the first time your dad has ever ridden a Harley. He looked so funny and I missed the photo op. He looked better on that scooter he had for a day. I asked him if he was going to have a midlife crisis and buy that bike. He said, "Ya, you can just call me "Mr." "Mr. Biker Dude that is".

We are here to talk if you like any time you are ready.

We love you and miss you.
Mom

Day Four Letter One

Dear Hollywood:

Thank you for phoning home yesterday. It was good to hear your voice and to know that you are okay.

We wish we could have talked with you last night like we planned. Maybe we can talk today? It is a comfort to know that you are closer to home than dad & I originally thought.

We had dinner at aunt and uncle excavation house last night. Betrothed cousin and soon to be spouse was there, Grinnell cousin, grandma, grandma's friend flower, barber uncle and aunt crash :-) was there. Aunt crash is doing much better and doctors say her arms are recovering nicely. Uncle excavation smoked brisket all day, it was very tender and yummy.

Water stealing cat, is as ornery as ever, she just thinks she is tough but snuggles in close at night. Brainless is still brainless but still a very lovey kitty. Old black dog is still old but tries to get her tail anyway.

Filmboy called last night asking about his sis. He loves you too you know and is missing you.

We love you! We miss you!!

Day Two Letter Two

Dear Hollywood:

We know you are very angry with your father and I, understandably so. We believe someday when you become a momma you will understand what lengths a parent will go to to protect their child. Like a momma bear...all teeth showing taking no prisoners.

We know you want to be on your own and make your own way. That is exactly what we want for you. For you to be on YOUR own. We understand why you don't want to be here in Jackson and that is fine. But, it doesn't take that man for you to be on your own. You are a bright, intelligent beautiful girl, with a lot to offer. You have a lifetime ahead of you. What do you want out of your life? Think about that.

Food for thought

• Remember how happy you were before that man? What is your happiness level now?
• Remember all those things you told us about that man.
• Remember all the things you told your friends about that man. Were those all lies? If so then you were lying about that man, who you love? Does that even make sense?
• If all those things you told us and your friends were lies about that man who is the love of your life then wouldn't that man be hurt by your words.
• Think about this, that man is 35 years old. What does he have to show for his 35 years? How has he contributed to society. How do you see your future with that man based upon his previous 35 years?
• Don't you think you deserve the fairy tale life with someone who adores you?
• Don't you think you deserve the fairy tale wedding?
• Don't you think you deserve to be happy?
• Don't you think you deserve to keep all your family? Didn't that man tell you what he wanted in life was family, like you have? Then why is he tearing you away from your family?
• Don't you think you deserve to have a life coach councilor help you through these emotional times? Hollywood we have lost too many family and friends this last year. It is going to take a lot of time to heal for all of us.
• Don't you think you deserve to have time to yourself to think all of this through, so that you know your decisions are being made with a clear head? Why can't he give you time to get on your feet emotionally? Reasonable people would want a decision so big as love and being a couple being made by emotionally stable person.

Has he told you he will take care of you and that he is the only one who truly loves you? Remember you are loved by many.

Has he told you we abandanded you?

• Remember third grade icky teacher? We supported you.
• Remember that aweful pink paint job in your room? We supported you.
• Remember Hitler Principal? We supported you.
• Remember your last swim on swim team? We supported you.
• Remember Tucson? We supported you.
• Remember big dark friend of Jesus boy before Tucson? We supported you.
• Remember dark hair bike bar b q boy. We supported you.
• Remember dumb job at village. We supported you.
• Remember drama queens at long time work. We supported you.

We will ALWAYS support you! We would NEVER abandan you. Never!

Hollywood it is not too late to change your mind. You don't have to stay in your current situation, you have choices.

When you are ready to go your own way, we will support you. No questions asked. Haven't we always.

Know that you are not EVER alone. Help moving on with your life as YOU see fit is a phone call away. Check out the website I posted a link to. http://www.youarenotcrazy.com/

Did you notice the picture on this page is the Gross Ventre by where we camp?

We love you! We miss you!

Day Two

Dear Darling Daughter:

Dad and I woke up to a beautiful sun filled morning, but as the fog of sleep left our brains reality filled our broken hearts. Our beautiful daughter is missing. The memories of holding my husband of 24 years as he sobbed in my arms last night flashed through my head. I have never seen him cry like this before, my heart breaks for him.

My heart breaks for you today. I know you are confused and emotionally spent. You have been through a lot this last year. I know you miss Poppa and Grandmom we all do. My wish is for you to come home and talk to us, but I know in your eyes right now Dad and I are the enemy. I am sorry.

Your cell phone is on, your voice mail needs reset. I will text to you both of your cousins telephone numbers in Denver so that you will not be all alone.

REMEMBER what we told you about that little gut feeling. Watch for it and please act upon it if it should arise. We will help you start your own life if you will let us. We love you with all of our hearts! We miss you!

Mom
