Biweekly Task- A letter to Mom.
The thunderstorms used to scare her when she was a little girl but now, she truly did enjoy them. She was laying on the sofa along with her dog named Mason, who was a bit scarred of the thunder. She pet her dog gently trying to calm his anxiety down, "I know you are scared Mason, it will be fine" she said softly. She turned on the candle and started to hum. The humming usually calmed her dog down. "Come on we are going to write a letter to your nonna, my mamma" she said softly. Sitting up, she grabbed a paper from her desk and grabbed a pen. Her mother had been her strength and her biggest supporter. She was not going to be able to go to New York this Sunday for Mother's Day but she was arranging flowers to be delivered to her mother, as well as a gift. The designer started her letter for her mamma.
"Mia Cara Madre,
Where can I begin mamma? You are truly the inspiration, the strength, and love that I carry within me. You are the bravest person I know, and not only because you are a widow, after the passing of my father but you have been a warrior always being there for myself and Aaron. You are truly the most amazing woman that I know, and the woman I am today is because of you. When things were going downhill for me, you were there to help me up. You were there to pick me up and push me knowing that I could do the best. You are the best cook, besides nonna, you are my everything. Thank you for being my biggest supporter through the ups and downs, from my dancing days to my designing days and currently as a business owner. You don't know how much you mean to me. There are truly no words to describe how much I love you! Thank you for being an amazing mother, my best friend, and an amazing rolemodel. You are a warrior, a strong woman, being a funny woman, and a fighting spirit. I always think that dad is watching over us, and watching over you. I am so proud and happy to call you my mother, mia madre. Ti amo molto. I am sorry I won't be able to be there on Sunday but I hope your gift,your roses and this letter lets you know how special you are to me. You are celebrated, loved and special not only on Mother's Day but every day, mamma. Sending you hugs and kisses, we love, sending love from your daughter and grandson.
With love, Isabella Fontana & Mason Fontana. "I think she will love it Mason!" she said softly as the dog barked and cuddled close to her. She was excited that the storm was lifting up. She was excited and hoped that this letter would find her mother well.

Christmas Wish List.
Isabella's Christmas Wish List:
1. A new car- Audi A4 2024- I am not a picky girl, but my current car, a lexus sedan has been great for a couple of years now but I think it is time to change it, as it is breaking down. It is time to change it and upgrade it. 2. A new expresso machine- I currently have a good Keurig but I would love to be able to make my own expresso or lattes at home, whenever I want. I would love that liberty and an upgrade in coffee machines. 3. A puppy- Even though I already have Mason, I think he needs a sister/brother so I am still thinking about how Mason will react but I think it will be great. 4. A Burberry Trench Coat- I have a few coats already but a girl could never have enough winter coats, specially as a trench coat. 5. A kitten- I love animals and I would love to grow my pets with adding a kitten, I think that it will take time for Mason but I think eventually they will all get along. I love it. 6. A new Chanel Bag- I love bags. I would truly love this bag and would be a nice way to treat myself. After an amazing year at the boutique, I think it is good to reward yourself.
