Handwritten Letter (2016.037.0484)
Handwritten letter on white printer paper that says, “To each of you, to all of you, / I write to you as a mother. As a mother of a son. A son who is finding out now, at age 9, who he is and who he wants to be; who he can be. You lost your lives… the ones here on earth… behind where I sit as I write- and we heard about you – yes you- hundreds of miles away. I can not bring you back to earth to know you, but I can make you a promise: My son will be you. and will not hate. he will be who he chooses, not forced by anyone. he will be celebrated and will celebrate. he will be loved and will love. he will be joyous, respectful, deliberate and alive. He will make you each… and me… proud. He will dance for you now. forever. and more. i love you, he does too. Auzzie.”
