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.

October 31, 1981

Dear Betsy, Sandy, and Kirstie,
I enclosed the payment for your Teen Magazine.  Ask your dad to pay it for you.  How are all of you?  I haven't been very well. I had to see Dr. Jones yesterday.   My blood pressure went way down and he said I had to stay off of my feet.  Plus my neck and back hurt so much.  I can't take medicine for them my body will hold fluid.  I am very nervous and worried.  Please take a little time and write me.  I am so lonely.  I still have my cold and it is in my chest.
How is school going?  I hope well for all of you.  I really have little news except sickness.  Tonight is Halloween.  Are you going out?  Remember I love you and miss you.  Remember me, please.

All my love,
Mom
