| I bet that these are the pictures that she took at Easter with her new camera. |
I wish mama or daddy was here so that I could ask them like "did she get to ride the roller coaster? " "Did you all live in an apartment?" with the weird address. Did daddy work with paw paw? Was that why you all were in PA to start with right? I only know the story that my mama told about riding in a big truck with her brother up there to be with my dad. She told me how he would not stop and let her go to the bathroom because he was on a schedule to deliver his load. I had told Frank when we got married that on our 25th wedding anniversary that I want to go and see where I was born, but now I am not sure because I have no one to tell me what to go and see. I feel sad just thinking about it. Why did I not find out more things while they were alive? Why did they have to be taken from me so young. There are so many times that I need their advice, their wisdom or just a hug and I love you! I am typing through tears because I miss them to much especially during the holiday. You know I could kick my self for not having any pictures of my dad and his first grandson. He even came and visited me and Seth in the hospital, but he only lived 6 months after Seth was born and I only think he saw him that one time. I have a few with mom and Seth but she was usually sick or she did not want me to take pictures of her without her wig. Oh I have got to stop. This was suppose to be a happy blog about the letter.
Miss you mom and dad!!
Love Vicki
You have me in tears! That letter is awesome! And I'm so glad you have it! Your mom sounds like a fun, sweet person...a lot like you! :) I think you turned out to be a pretty great "it" as you were called in the letter. lol.
ReplyDeleteI loved how she called me "it" to!! thanks
ReplyDeleteMy dear sweet Vicki,
ReplyDeleteYou have me crying too. What a touching, sweet post. It makes me miss your Mom. She was so much fun to be with and I always loved the way she laughed. What you wrote was beautiful. Your Mother did a good job raising you all. She was a good person. I love the pictures. Don't they look old fashioned..I love you Vicki! Aunt Melba
Oh, Vicki! What a sweet letter. I can almost hear Shirley saying those words as I read them. I remember how your mom and my mom would sometimes end up together on a weekend, sitting at the house, and they would laugh at us kids. Mama would stir up some fudge or make a chocolate pie! I know you miss your mom and dad. I love you!
