This is my mother. She left me when I was just 14 years old. I saw her a few times from teenage through the typical college years (although I didn’t have typical college years) and then she passed away before I married or had children. She was a wonderful woman that I know I would talk to her often if she were alive, but I really never got the chance.

The most current entries are things I would tell her and only her ... because they aren’t meant to be heard, just vented (if she were alive). The majority of this blog are letters she wrote to me (and a few to my sisters) during the years that we were apart.

June 12, 1980

Dear Betsy,

How are you?  I haven't heard from you.  I hope you like this speical book marker.  I miss you very much.  I hope you are well and enjoying your vacation.  I hear you are going to summer school.  As you know your dad wants a divorce since I am not well.  He also wants you and Kirstie.  I hope you understand all this mess.  I love you dearly.  I hope I can see you soon.  Your Dad arrives tonight and I will see him tomorrow.  I guess we will sign all the papers.

Grandma and Grandpa are busy.  Grandpa Deakin is OK.  Sunday is Father's Day.  I am working now & Sandy and I live in a one bedroom furnished apartment.  It is small and we have little.  We will move when some furniture comes.  Please write me and take care of yourself.  Send me a picture of you please for my wallet.

I love you so much.

Love,
Your mom
