Dear Betsy,
Here I am writing you again. A lot has happened.
I have been very dwon and unable to sleep. I have a lot on my mind. My parents are really upsetting. The brakes on their precious car which is what I drive are shot. I told them and told them. Now everything will need replacing. My dad knows nothing about cars.
I had to go to my doctor to get some help. He put me on my estrogen only increased it. Plus he wants me to take progestrone for 10 days a month. I am going for a pap smear on July 10th I will gain weight from the medicine. I don't eat that much really. I am making a batch of the most delicious chili. I get up early. Bob is coming later to eat with me. We love hot spicy chili. I learned to cook so different with Bob. I even love avadcados. I try lots of things. I love italian and mexican food. I don't like rice, macaroni, nooles or pastas. I love vegetables, cottage cheese. Before I go to bed I heat a cup of milk and add 1 tsp of nesltles Quick. Relaxing. Plus I take my calcium since I am getting older and I don't want osteoporous.
I am without a car and I hate it. I can't do anything. I have to go early because of the heat. I wish summer were over for my sake. I like cool days and dreary. The sun really gets my feet and knees. I don't know if I'll get to church tomorrow either or even where to go.
I am still mixed up about that. I like the Episcopal church but it isn't air conditioning. I think I'll go back to being a Presbyterian and forget all others. Between religion, my disease, my parnets and Bob, it is no wonder I am a basket case. You know, it broke my heart not to go to Sandy's wedding or get to meet Mark and see all of you. I was so upset that day. I had my ticket all paid for and I lost my $200 or I wish everyone could understand (including me) that I am no longer able to do much. I love you so much and your sisters and I am missing so much. It is very sad. But I can't dwell on it. I pray for you every day. I do feel better today and I slept better.
Bob and I may not go back. I like my freedom. I guess I belong alone with the conditions I have to live under. I like things neat and he doesn't. I can't take clutter.
Well, the brakes were through to metal but my dad is going to pay for it all. Thank God for that.
Well, I guess I'll close now. Please write and understand my confusion. I love you, dearly. I miss you. come and see me.
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.
