So, lately I've been thinking of writing a letter to Nate's(love of my life who died 5 years ago) Mom as a form of peace of mind, for both her and I. The thing is though is that today I talked a bit with Nate's little brother and I learned from him that their Mom died 11 months after her son died... I had no idea... *sighs* Now I wish that I had thought of this sooner, written to her 5 years ago before it was too late. I didn't really know her, I had talked with her on the phone once or twice for a short bit while I waited for Nate to get on the phone. All that I knew about her is what he had told me. They had a complicated relationship for quite awhile and he often said to me "My Mom hates me.", I honestly feel like he was mistaken... I mean, I cannot fathom a Mother hating her first born son. As I said I didn't know her that well but she didn't seem like that to me. She had even offered to pay for a bus ticket for me to go and visit Nate and stay with them for as long as I wanted to. Nate and I had talked about that a bit before he died, I was gonna go there the following year during the Spring or the Summer of 2011... I never got the chance to cuz he died in June of 2010...
Anyways, I still feel like I should write the letter to her even though she's dead, I've heard that writing letters for yourself is also a way to cope. I'm hoping that writing to her will help me in some way. Maybe I should write a letter to Nate as well. Obviously I wouldn't be able to send them but I could still write them and keep them for myself. That wouldn't be crazy would it?
