Write a letter to your children or grandchildren
Dear Kids
I can't help but wonder just what sort of jobs you guys will have. Doctors? Lawyers? I didn't want to be a mother-but the minute you all came I knew exactly what I wanted to and what I cared about. You guys.
I guess your dad will tell you that his biggest fear was that you'd take after your mother. Dream Sharing isn't a business for the faint of heart but it's where the country seems to be going. He hated that I did what I did and did everything to take me away from it.
What I want to tell you is, you can be whatever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. I would love nothing more then to have you all Doctors and Lawyers (if anything so that you can support your father and mother in their old age) but whatever your father says...
Whatever I might be asked to say...
You can do what you want to.
Cassandra, you're the baby of the family and I don't want you to think that just because your big brother will look after you (and he will) That doesn't mean you get to shirk your responsibilities. You're an artist. be an artist.
Miles. Take care of your little sister. I don't want to hear any excuses. You're her twin. You're the wild child of the family so I fully expect you to be the funny one (And you are funny, you're sweet) but Cassie's a baby. Love her.
Nyx ....You're the best. I fell in love with you the moment I felt you growing inside of me. Take care of your brother and sister..
And dream. As much as your mother does.
