I wrote this early this morning. I want to share it with anyone who'd read it coz mums don't get enough love nowadays.



Dear Mum,

I hope you get to Kokopo safely. I want to thank you for everything you and daddy have given and sacrificed for me & joey & jocelyn. I hope I can be as good at parenting as you are. I.m sorry for sometimes complaining how difficult life is & why I have to always be the one who is stronger & better than everybody else. I didn't realize that it was you and dad who got hurt the most, who had to be the strongest, & who sacrificed more. When I passed the boards and became a doctor I knew there would be better days ahead of us. Don't worry about getting old, Leslie and I will take care of you no matter what happens. We will be happy. I know some things have changed now that I'm married but I will always be here, with Leslie, for you and daddy. I want to thank you for giving her and us another chance. I was scared for a while that you wouldn't approve, but I was wrong & you didn't say anything & trusted me enough to make my own decision. I think I've made the right one mum. We hope we can start working in Kokopo quickly. I have a plan for all of us & if everything works out, we'll be ok & happy in 5-10 years. Then we can enjoy life more and have more choices, we just have to stay together.
Thank you mummy, for acknowledging how much I've done for Joey & Jocelyn, it's one of the hardest things I've ever done, and I know my role's not yet finished.

I love you mum. Leslie loves you and says she'll miss you. We both love you very much. See you soon!

Love,
Jayson and Leslie
