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.

December 3, 1988

Dear Betsy,
So how is the bride-to-be?  May 6 will be here soon.  I hope I am better.  The doctor says I had a major stroke and now I keep having mini strokes.  I am on a blood thinner (coumadin) which disolves clots.

Today I have a lot of energy.  I am trying to pick up my room (living).  Then I must do BR.  When I was in Mercy, I bought a craft kit.  I picked one for Alexsandra's baby's 1st shoes.  I hope I can make them.

I did an insurance form for meds.  Now I wait for the money.

I have cable vision and I love it.  I get up early in night and cable goes all night.

Well, I wanted you to know that I think of you, love you and miss you.

Take care.  Come see me.  I miss you.

All my love,
Mom
