Miss Ouiser,
You’re just full of surprises! I’m so glad you let down that harsh exterior and have let yourself calm down. I’m glad Owen us by your side, for your tomatoes, and flowers, and Rhett’s sake’s too.
Miss Ouiser, I am proud that you have brought attention to your faith and no longer feel like you have to hide. I don’t know if that’s because of Owen or Shelby’s passing or just because God decided it to be so, but in any way--I’m still so happy.
I would ask you to consider going to Camp Crossroads, but I’ll just pray that you keep praying.
I know you can’t bear to hear Jack Jr. or Shelby cry and that might be because of who they remind you of, but Shelby wouldn’t want us to get mired down. And they’re babies--they do that.
I know you carry a lot of regret--maybe even shame--but there is no shame in praying to God because you don’t know what else to do.
I love you, Miss Ouiser!
Love,
Annelle
