Dear Mimi

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

What are you doing, staying up this late?

Shouldn’t you be asleep by now?

While I got your attention, I would like to know… Was our life all you dreamed it would be?

Tell me about every decade. What happens when I turn 70? What will I know then that I do not already know now?

Will everything be worth the wait?

What are people calling you now? Great grandma? Or are you greater?

What did you do? Will I be proud of the choices you made?

It really doesn’t matter does it? I still get to see for myself.

Are you happy? Do you still love all the things that I do?

I can’t believe you stayed up this late.

Go to sleep, it’s way past your bedtime.

With all my love… Mimi
