“MESSAGES FROM JAC”S MOM”
………………….As the fourth year of Jac’s passing approaches I think of the promises I made……From the time Jac was a little girl and knew how to read and write she and her mom would exchange cards, notes and letters. Many of the cards Jac made herself. They saved all of them. Over the many years until Jac’s mom passed they kept giving each other these notes and cards. Her mom used to hide them in Jac’s luggage, on her many trips to Europe on modeling jobs, so she would find them. After her mom passed Jac would still find little notes left for her hidden around the house. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day I happen upon a hidden note…..The two cards above were given to Jac by her mom. She used to keep one in her mom’s bible and one in a book called “Safe Passage” by Molly Fumia. They were always at Jac’s bed side. She made me promise that they would be put with her when she was cremated….which I did….but before doing so I took pictures of the cards, because I wanted them too……Jac also made me promise to burn all of her cards, letters, notes and pictures plus her journals and throw the ashes into the sea. She said she couldn’t bare the thought of her loved possessions being thrown into the trash…There are boxes of them…..I promised I would, but I just haven’t had the heart to do it…..not yet………………..Promises made………….promises kept
