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 2, 1984

Dear Betsy,
I haven't heard from you.  I know you are busy.  Did the other 2 girls tell you I called?  We are really busy.  Bob got most things moved this weekend but lots of boxes remain behind and we got to unpack everything.  The apartment is smaller than Bob's.

October 5
I am still moving but progress is being made.  We have lots to come from Bob's.  Then more of the unpacking.  The Mormons only helped me and not Bob.  The Baptist are helping a lot.   It is hard to be handicapped.  Sandy called for the minutes today.  I hope she is okay.
How is work going?  I sure wish you'd write me.  I miss your letters.  I hope you like your job.  Bob is going to the American Legion tonight so I will be alone for the first time in our apartment.  Someone gave me these little notes.  This is the 1st I used one.  Well, I guess I will close so I can get Bob to the Legion. We'll got an ice cream cone on the way.
Remember I miss you and love you very much.

All my love,
Mom
