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.

April 19, 1983

Dear Betsy,
How are you?  My hip is getting better and less pain.  I have trouble sleeping.  I always used to sleep on my back until I got so critically ill.  Then I ended up on my side.  Now I am getting used to sleeping on my back again.
Bob and I have been married one year on May 4.  Today he bought me a Ryrie Study Bible and it is great.  I will be busy with it.  I also got a devotion book.
We have no water and it is a ness.  A major pipe broke and 2 buildings (16 apartments) have lost water.  The toilet is the worst problem.
We are going to take Confirmation classes at the Episcopal Church and join June 5th.  Tomorrow I plan to go to communion service at 11:30.
I would like to sew again.  I have to get rid of some more things and get some clothes that fit.
Grandpa starts golfing tomorrow.  He will do it every Wednesday morning.  He brought some water over tonight.
Well, I am out of news.  Take care and remember I love you so very much and miss you.  You are always welcome here.  Please write.

All my love,
Mom
