Dear Betsy,
I haven't heard from you for a while. I hope you are well. I am trapped in because of the extreme heat. I hate summer because of my feet and legs.
Sandy's baby is small. Grandma and Grandpa are paying for an OB consult which she saw. The baby's heart beat is a little slow too. She took a stress test yesterday. I do pray all will be well. Keep the baby and her in your prayers. I am concerned. She is working hard and has her hands full. She is very tired. She has applied for welfare and is supposed to get it soon.
Bob moved into an apartment around the corner from me. He is on the phone or over her a lot.
I made a jello salad with fruit early today. I made oatmeal but I still am hungry. I at at 6 am. Did I tell you that I got 2 CEU's for RN by answering all questions right? I want to do one on emphysema soon. I haven't much energy. Grandma and Grandpa brought some fruit goodies, meat, milk, etc. three days ago. They stayed 45 minutes.
Today is ice cream social for Eastern Stars and it's going to be 95 degrees or more. Aunt Ida is going.
Are you ready for college? I bet you are excited. I was when I went to Nursing school 24 years ago.
Kelly is my buddy. She stays in the bedroom all day. I sleep on the hideaway bed at night by the cooler. Last night I drank a beer. Tasted good.
Well, I am out of news. Write me. Remember I love you and miss you. Take care and write.
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.
