Dear Grace,

I know your probably confused right now, and sad, and angry. I'm sorry that I can't be there for you, I'm sorry that  I'm the reason your upset, but what I'm most sorry about. Is keeping secrets from you. I should have told you this from the start, but I was scared that you would leave me then. Now I'm gone, and you deserve to know.

You probably think I'm a coward for telling you in a letter after I died, but I couldn't be there to know how you would react, because if you hated me, it would have made the last few moments of my life miserable. And I wouldn't have been able to spend so many of them with you enjoying my life before it was gone.

Alright your probably ready for me to tell you, I know how impatient you are. Ever since you were a little kid, You are my daughter after all. The thing is, your not the only one. You have a sister, a twin infact. She lives with your father, we thought it would be better for you two not to know about eachother. Your father's name is Greg Taylor, he lives in Michigan with your sister, Avery. And now, with me gone, you'll live there too.

Please don't be mad at your father, and be nice to your sister when you meet her. once again, I'm truly sorry.

Love Mom.
