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.

August 29, 1990

Dear Betsy,

My visiting teachers came 2 days ago.  Some lady brought them that knew the way.  We had a nice visit.  They brought 2 old church news, 3 large print Reader's Digest, Relief Society manual.  It sure was good to see someone besides Earl.  I am making a church dress out of the material I enclosed.  I think that it will be very pretty.  It was supposed to cost $8 and I got it for $3.50 a yard.  Earl has been working on it and sewing it.  I really wanted to do it but he can't cut wood in the heat and right now it is storming.  Well, that is all the additional news I have.  Remember that we love you and pray for you every night.

All our love,
Mom and Earl
