Busy times

Dear Mom,

Things have been very busy lately. I've barely had much of a chance to catch my breath, let alone take time out to write you.

As you knew, the girls are both members of the United States Figure Skating Association. They have a new coach who has been excellent. She's taken a much more prevalent interest in them. Under her instruction, both girls have made impressive progress. She's gotten them involved in competitions now. They just had their first competition a week ago.

Both girls won medals.

Jessica came in first place in her group and Hannah third in hers. It was kind of unfair for Hannah because the boy who took first place actually had fell. Both of our girls did very well, and seemed confident. I wish you could have been there to see it — or maybe you were. I don't know.

So I've been busy picking them up from school and taking them to the ice rink for practice.

In addition to that, we found out that Jessica has to have a contact lens and eyeglasses. Michelle took her to the eye doctor and they put Jessica through "contact lens" school. She's been having a hard time adjusting to putting the thing in her eye and taking it out. I think she's finally getting it, however.

Thankfully, Hannah's eyes were both fine.

In addition to all of the aforementioned stuff, I have been working on a project that I hope will help us financially. Unfortunately, I can't talk too much about it publicly. But it's an opportunity that I hope pans out. Maybe I'll discuss it in more detail in the future.

I remember that you never stopped looking at ways to improve yourself. You took on challenges and tackled them without fear. At least, if you had fear, you certainly didn't let it show. That attitude inspires me today. I think about what you would do in my situation. I contemplate what you'd say to me if you were here and act in accordance to what I think your guidance would be.

I guess even in "death", you never really quit being a parent.

So how have things been going in heaven?

It's pretty much the same here in hell. The evil Bush is cohorting with the communist Chinese, just like his evil predecessor. Things never change and the population never seem to wise up that there is really no difference between these parties. Everyone gets angry at the man in office and never realize that he's just an order-taker for the international banking cartel. If we ever got an honest president in office, the bankers would have him assassinated.

The one thing that gives me hope is my belief that there is a better place, beyond this life, beyond the influence and reach of the elite satanists whose only desire is to control, steal, kill and destroy.

Even though I'm terribly sorry that we lost you from our physical world, I'm glad you were able to escape the pain and suffering that is undoubtedly coming. The planners are moving so fast in implementing their scheme; I wonder if our country will even be recognizable in ten or twenty years? I wonder what kind of future your granddaughters will have when our traitorous government is sending our jobs overseas.

But it's all temporary. I keep reminding myself every day that we're here for just a season, and then we graduate to the next level of life. Sorrows and cares will pass on that grand graduation day!

I'll see you there, Mom. I deeply miss you, and scarcely a day passes that my thoughts are not with you.

Love, Darren
