Dear Betsy,
I got your letter yesterday. Sounds like your love life is coming out in full bloom and with your new man. A doctor at that!!
Does he know your mom is a RN? We would have a lot in common.
Sandy just called and Markel is very sick. She wants me to move to VA and live with her and Mark.
Bob is still in the hospital. The doctor thinks it would be best to put him in a skilled nursing home. That will force me to divorce him. I can't get medicaid without him. I see my attorney tomorrow. I hope he helps. The social worker says I have to apply for medicaid for Bob. I don't see how I can do that. I haven't been to see Bob. Last night I cried a lot. I feel sorry for him but it is really his own fault. The strokes and high BP have caused his mood changes.
In 1982 he was so wonderful and he loved me. I was lonely and fell in love with him. I have really tried to help him. I still feel bad and guilty if I rationalize. It's hard to explain.
Kelly is here beside me. I think she gets cold because it is so cool in here. I really adore her.
Well, I am going to close so this goes in the noon news. Take care of yourself and have fun.
Remember that your mom love you so much.
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.
