Letters to Claudia

A book sharing the letters written to my mom as I transitioned from our daily chats to memories. My way of keeping her with me.

I rearranged the contents of my desk in our new RV, pulling out a stack of letters and the memories flooded back. And a few tears. These were letters written to my mother in the year after her passing. Thumbing through the letters, stopping to read one, then another. Then another. These letters shaped the story over a year of accepting and overcoming the sadness of loss, missing traditions, routines, and my mom's companionship and love. I needed to fill a void so I picked up my pen to create a new connection. The memory of my mom inspired me to write this book, to share my journey. My purpose for publishing my story is to inspire someone who may need to fill a void like me and to bring a smile to hearts.
