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 25, 1985

Dear Betsy,
I just came from the GYN doctor.  He increased my Estrogen to double it.  I hate pelvic exams.  Now, I am at Fisches Big Boy for soup and salad bar and coffee.  It is so good.  I got this care for free from Current stationary.  It made me think of you.
I hope you are feeling better and sleeping at night.  I have trouble sleeping also.  Soon Sandy will be here.  When are you coming?  When is your vacation?  I'd love to see you.  You are always welcome.
Our weather is warmer today and sunny.  Oh, I have lost 6# without knowing it.  So I guess I'll get to making milk shakes or something.  I don't know how I lost so much.  I asked the nurse if the scale was right and she said yes.
I don't think I'll keep going to the Mormon church.  I don't know what I'll do for Easter.  I may go Baptist or Episcopal depending on our weather.  The Episcopal church has been supplying us iwth meals for over a week.  It is really nice of them.
Bob is home sleeping.  I got to go home and make supper for him. I got him 2 apple sticks for breakfast tomorrow.
I have been doing pelvic rocks the past two days and my abdomen hurts to say the least.  My appetite is good.  I should be gaining weight and not losing.  I only weight #112.
Well, I hope things are better for you in all matters.  How is David?  What about Greg?  What happened with the others your wrote about?
Well, I must close.  Please write me and get will for your mom.  I love you so much and MISS YOU.

All my love,
Mom
