Mia Bella Madonna, It’s taken me a long time to write, largely because I always figure that these things never get read or even received as there are so many to sort through and I am just me, a small town girl from nowhere important. I actually did write once, when I was very little (7 I believe), as this was when you first entered my life with such a large and important impact that, at this moment, I feel compelled to tell you for one reason or another. I didn’t have a great childhood.
