Dearest Purity and Bea,

It is VERY important, my darling girls, to keep yourself balanced.  What I mean by this is if you find yourself going to extremes: sadness, anger, depression, etc… you need to remember to seek out something that will help balance you.

I’ll be honest for a moment, I miss you both so much it hurts sometimes.  I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about you.  And I have a difficult time pulling myself away from my laptop after I post to you each day.  But I must pay attention to the NOW.  NOW is a very important time.  In fact, it is the most important time and the only one we can control.  I know you have less control right now, but that will change.  You will have to decide how you will choose to live your lives: from a place of fear, or from a place of strength.  And that strength is building inside of you NOW because of what you are going through.  I know you will put this difficult situation to good use in the future.  Be sure to take walks in the sunlight, giggle with your friends and family, read amazing books, and draw beautiful pictures.  The one thing you can be sure of…is change.  Do not discount the lessons of NOW just because there are tough moments.  It’s tough out here too.  A world without you is a much harder world, believe me.  But I have no doubt that we will find each other again.

With So Much Love,

Prudence XXOO
