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.

July 4, 1989

Dear Betsy,

Glad to get your letter.  So happy you are becoming a missionary.  That is wonderful.  Earl has started reading the BOM you gave him.  Here is Jewel's, Mike's and Justyn's address…

Earl had a birthday June 27.  We have a lot of good times.  We love each other so much.  I have never loved like this way before.  Ear is good to me and good for me.  I have wedding pictures that are good and will get you some soon.  I keep forgetting.  It is hot here.  Bad time of the year for me with the feet and legs.  But we go out a lot.  I weigh 130#.  All the fattening I eat.  Went over to Jewel's last night for Mexican dinner.  Plus cake and ice cream.

I go to church every week and Earl goes also.  He is a Baptist (now).
I saw the GYN doctor and the repair looks good.  I can do anything but I can never lift anything.  Only problem now I started wetting the bed in my sleep after the catheter came out.  So we set the alarm for 1 or 2 am and I get up.  Last 2 nights I woke up with a full bladder before alarm and went to the toilet.  So maybe things are looking up.

Gram and Gramp said to tell you that they love you.  I love you so much, honey.  Thanks for writing.  I appreciate it.  Glad Kirstie is better.  Tell her I love her and will write soon.

All our love,

Mom and Earl
