Dear Mom,
Jayne picked up Tamara and rushed over to our house shortly after stopping by to be sure that you and dad were in for the night. Both of them rushed, plopping their purses down on the table. They both were very excited. Simultaneously, they frantically attempted to tell us what had happened. In their excitement, they were both talking at the same time, talking over one another to the point that we were unable to follow what they were saying. After what seemed like several minutes of this,... [more]

Dear Mom,
You’ve most likely already heard, another girl has been reported missing, grrrrrr. Worse, we aren’t any further along in our search to find Zachary or any of the vampires responsible for these disappearances. Considering how long we’ve been at this, I have to say, we feel fortunate there hasn’t been more… Our fear is, there may be others who have fallen victim that we haven’t heard about yet. If Zachary and his cronies wanted to, they could really wreck havoc! So the... [more]

Dear Mom,
It’s been very difficult lately. As you know, darkness falls much later this time of year. As a result, I haven’t seen families out milling about doing their thing. The absence of happy, laughing children is weighing on me in a way that’s quite surprising to me. I never realized how important these seemingly unnoticeable activities were for me until recently. I guess I took this normalcy, interacting and observing people for granted. As I spend more of my time out during the wee... [more]

Hi Dyani, I hope it’s OK to write… and please don’t be upset with your mom. I mean, you can’t be upset with her for telling me that you’re OK. You see, when you disappeared without a trace, we were all so worried about you. The first day or two, I told myself that you were OK and, you just needed some time to yourself. As the days went on, I got really scared, and worried that you might be hid away in some nut jobs house or….. worse. I didn’t want to show your mom my... [more]

Dear J,
The night we spent together was very special. When I woke the next day, I thought it all must have been dream. Just when my life was at it’s darkest, I saw a glimmer of kindness. And while the night seemed to last forever as we talked about so many things, it passed far to quickly for my liking. You are a true gentleman and a great listener. When you arrived I was in the depths of sorrow, alone and hopeless and then you were there and my pain gently washed away. [more]

Dear Dyani,
I am not quite sure how to process all the information you’ve given me. I should think that I’ll be fine though. This brings back memories of my childhood I hadn’t thought of for years. I vaguely remember times as a child and as a teen when I too felt a bit different. It made me quite uncomfortable and I worked very hard to bury those feelings and I was able to grew to be a normal wife and mother. At this point in my life, I just can’t imagine I could possibly stir-up concerns... [more]

Dear Mom,
Thank you so much for your letter mom, I feel a lot better knowing that I’ll see you again and I hope all goes well so we can make it happen very soon.
When I read your letter I was smiling wide, and of course I remember, “Mama do you love me?” That was one of my favorite storybooks when I was little. I still remember how reassuring it was to hear you read it to me after I had gotten in trouble or done something to upset you. Interestingly, I don’t remember what I possibly... [more]

Dear Dyani,
Sweetheart, don’t you know that all I’ve ever wanted is for you to find happiness? The truth is, one of the most difficult challenges I’ve endured in my life has been watching you struggle to find happiness, to find yourself. I could see your pain and I wanted nothing more than to take it way. I would have done anything to bare your burden. No matter how hard I tried to ease your pain nothing helped. I tried to buy happiness for you with toys when you were small, and clothes, computers,... [more]

Dear Mom,
It seemed like we were stuck in that crate forever. Not because the trip was so long, but because we were so vulnerable. When our crate finally arrived in LA and we were delivered to our destination, it wasn’t quite dark, so we had to wait a while longer to emerge. When the sun finally set, Eric carefully opened a small hole in the crate. He placed a small mirror up through the hole and looked around. “We’re here,” he said as he opened the crate and slid the top off. [more]

Dear Mom,
Over the next week Eric and I spent our time together. He took me out so I could get used to being a vampire and all that comes with that, and the transformation. It’s hard to imagine the thoughts that must go through someones head after being bitten, when they wake-up one night like this. To wake up alone without the kindness of someone like Eric to be there for them, to guide them through the change. I feel so fortunate to have him with me. [more]
