I figured this would be the last year I could select what Drew was going to be for Halloween, so I thought I would go out with a bash and we decided upon MARIO! I think he makes a cute little Italian, if I do say so myself :)

A Letter for You, Son.
Andrew,
You know, there are times when I look at you and I know that when you get older you are going to ask me what happened with our family. I honestly don’t think there is an appropriate time for you to know the details, as our problems remain our problems; and this is something that you will need to learn to accept over time. When we are peers and you have been married, had a child, created a career, and carved your place in life then maybe we can talk about this. You father and I, regardless of our differences, always agreed that nothing good would come of putting you in the middle of our problems. So we did what we felt was best for all of us and decided to separate. I want you to know that I will always love and and do my best to honor your father because he gave me you, and I am thankful every single day for that.
I want you to live and benefit from my mistakes. I want you to learn from them, and not have to relive them. The most important piece of advice I can give you, is for you to remember that relationships don't define you. They don't determine who you are. They describe where we are in life, and demonstrate what we value. It’s OK for this to change over time, and when it changes its OK to recognize, accept it, and move on. If you find that your relationships define you, then maybe you have forgotten who you are. Don't let that happen.
You are perfect and the greatest gift my life has experienced and I am honored to be your mother, and I wish the best for you forever. I love you Andrew, and I will always be here for you.
Love,
Mommy
