Dear Cali Chica:

If your mother needed you many years ago, why did she look elsewhere that day in Disneyworld, for what she needed. Why did she point to other families, bigger families?

If it was you who she needed, she would have looked at you that day and smiled, pleased, feeling that she had all she needed right there, in you.

If your mother needed you a few days ago when you talked to her on the phone, as she and your father were heading to the hospital, she would have been pleased to hear your voice, to hear your words. She would have been comforted. Not as comforted perhaps as she would have been if your person was physically present there with her, but pleased nonetheless.

She would have been gracious with you on the phone, saying something like: Cali Chica, I am so glad you called. I feel so much better, thank you, thank you for calling!
