Shelby's last words to Jack


Here's what I imagine Shelby's last words to Jack were if they were written in a note;

Shelby Eatonton Latcherie: Jack, sweetheart, this is for you and I hope you never have to read this but just in case, I want you to have something from me other than the life that I gave you and I want you to know that Daddy and I wanted you so much and you were more than we ever could have hoped for. Our precious little boy. You were everything we could have ever dreamed and I am leaving you with a lot of wonderful people to love. We have been together ever since I brought you into this world and we will always be together. So, love Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Tommy and Uncle Jonathan and Great Aunt Fern as they love you and respect them and make them proud of you. I leave your future happiness in their hands and forgive me, my first and only son if I have to leave you but know that no matter where you are, I will always be with you and love you forever and ever and ever.
