An old post card

Found an old post card from my mother today. I don't have many things that I used to, due to unforeseen circumstances, but I did manage to hold on to this. At a point in my life where my mother was gone driving a truck, and I lived with my grandmother, my mother did manage to send every so often a card. This one is dated the 13th of November, 1997. It was from New Orleans, and read;

Michelle, My Bell, I love you so well, Oh my Michelle.......corny, I know, but I do. Louisiana is beautiful. Hope I can bring you here someday. Trees are mossy, swamps & alligators everywhere. Love you 4 ever. Mom
