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.

March 16, 1985

Dear Betsy,
It is really good to have a lovely daughter like you.  I am so proud of you.  I remember when you were a little baby and now you are grown.  I missed those five years so much.  I wish we could have another visit like we last did.  I hope this card arrives on time.  Buy yourself something to remember me when you see it.  I hope you have a very nice day and many more to come.  I really do love you and miss you.

Love always,
Mom

Happy Birthday to a wonderful daughter who is lovelier every year…
and even more dear.  Have a wonderful day!
