Dear Betsy,
It was so great to talk with you last night. Grandma was thrilled that you called and remembered her birthday. I am glad you sound happy and like your apartment. We are still unpacking. Grandpa is getting a few groceries for me today.
Bob bought me the Triple combination which is the BOM, D&C, and Pearl of Great Price. It is my late wedding present. I had it engraved.
What do you want for Christmas? So you are into Modeling! I am glad you like it. How do you like your new job?
I am taking my old scriptures that are underlined and marked and doing it with my new scriptures. It keeps me busy. Now, when you come I have a twin bed and bedroom for you. Although you never complained about the sofa bed. I still have that.
I have to take Bentyl 10 mgm all the time for my colitis. It really gets bad some days. I guess I am a very nervous person.
I will never forget all the fun we had this past June. It is a treasured memory as our my pearls you gave me. Bob thinks they are really pretty. I really appreciate all your help in getting the dress. We had fun. You lit up my life once more.
How are you and David? I hope good. Are you saving money? We are really stretched with our salaries. Together we don't even make $700.
Well, I will close so this gets mailed. Remember I love you so much and miss you.
All my love,
Mom
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.
