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.

May 11, 1989

Dear Betsy,

We want to thank you for the darling wedding bell and BOM.  Most of all we are so thrilled to have you come.  It meant so much to your mom.  I am still finding confetti hearts!

Well my surgery is over.  They tied the bladder up then had to take the appendix and my ovaries.  I still have a small catheter in the incision.  I will have a bikini scar.

Earl is wonderful to me.  He really loves me and I love him so much.

So how are you doing?  I hope fine.  I called 5 nights ago and left a message.  How is Kirstie doing?  I get no where when I talk to her.  I feel sorry for her.  I have been in her position.

All my love,
Mom and Earl
