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 30, 1984

Dear Betsy,
I am at Frisches now eating a salad bar.  It is very good plus cauliflower soup.  Bob had minor surgery and is sleeping.  I was going to the Mormon church etc.  But I don't know.  Bob and I are also Episcopalians.  Tomorrow we will go to communion service @ 11:30 and then eat for free.  I still like my coffee and my beautiful bikinis are not mormon code.
By the way they are small on me.  I gained 10# and they are size 6.  I eat too much ice cream.
Bob goes to the hospital for surgery on the 8th.  It is Urology surgery and ill be painful.  I hope all goes well.
Where do you want your Christmas presents sent?  I have part of it.
Well, I guess I will stick with the Mormon church.  Boy, it is cold here.  I am freezing.  It is only 45 degreees here.  The leaves have all fallen off.
Well, I am out of news.  Write back real soon.  Remember I love you and miss you.  I hope you are well and happy.

All my love,
Mom and Bob
