After her adopted daughter died in a car accident, her mom discovered over 200 letters that she had written to God between the age of 14 & 18. To help herself grieve, the mom reads each letter - one at a time - and writes a letter back to her daughter, telling her all the things she would have said if she had known that she wouldn’t have another chance. The subject matter is intense and hard, but the conversations are authentic and raw - exposing the challenges & giving insights into both growing up and of parenting. In addition, because adoption produced feelings of abandonment and loss for this child, there was trauma that led to many additional challenges for both daughter and mom. We strongly suggest that you listen to this podcast with your teen and relish the conversations that you can have together, while you are both still living.

No trigger warning. Some minor cursing in reflections.
11:11 am and pm held a special significance for Heather. It seemed like everyday she joyously announced this time and ordered all of us to make a wish. After she passed, I noticed that I saw the clock at 11:11 and even 1:11 almost every single day. I could be deep in work and glance up at the clock. I could not have my watch or phone and have to go search for the time and it would be 11:11. I could suddenly remember I need to do something. It happens so frequently that I can't help but think about Heather daily. Without knowing it, she created a secret message for me to hold her in my thoughts daily. But I don't make wishes. I pray for whatever God has in store for me.
