I’ve arranged my affairs so that I can live comfortably on my own. Don’t worry about me. I’ve moved to a quaint little cottage close to the sea—a place where I can finally find peace and enjoy the years I have left. It’s a new beginning for me, just as this is a new chapter for you.

Lisa, you have it in you to be strong, to be independent, and to raise Travis with values that will make him a man of dignity and integrity. I believe in you. I always have.

My door will always be open if you ever want to visit, to talk, or to rebuild what we’ve lost. But for now, it’s time for us both to stand on our own two feet.

With all my love,
Mom”
