The Turtle Mountain
Dear Turtle Mountain,
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and your welcoming smile. I miss the trees, the fields, and the open land full of wildlife. I miss the people, their stories, their love, and the laughter.
It is strange to be so far away from you for so long but know I carry you with me every day in my heart and mind.
Thank you for being the home of my family, teaching life lessons, and always being there when I need you the most. You gave the opportunity flourish in all the seasons, even though your winters can be brutal at times.
You made me strong and resilient and at times very stubborn, but it has allowed me to become confident in who I am and where I come from.
No matter where life takes me, I will always be sure to come back home!
Love,
Maria
