Dear Mom & Bob

A letter to my mother with a post date of June 1988.

Hi, I hope all is well with you.  I'm just fine!  Not too much going on here.

Bob, thank you for sending those medical reports from the doctor.  I really appreciate it.  There's so many medical terms its hard to understand.

Mom, how's radiation going?  It should be about half over by now.  Hang in there Mom, it will all be behind you soon.  Do you still have hair?  It doesn't matter because I know you look beautiful anyway!  I truly mean that.

Mom, there's something I have to tell you.  You have been a great inspiration to me.  Even through your illness your faith in the Lord has remained strong.  I know that's why you are recovering so wonderfully.  All this time you have been in his precious care.  So many many prayers have been said and the Lord is answering them all.  You're a strong lady Mom and a great inspiration to me.

When are you going to Chicago/Michigan?  I'm going to come visit for a weekend when you're there.  Even though I just saw you, I still miss you very much and can't wait to see you again.  I know the grandkids will be  very happy to see both of you.  Liz will be having her baby soon.  I can't wait to have mine.  Sometimes I feel like I'm going to be pregnant for the rest of my life.

Well, I just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you always.  Take Care.

My love,

Mesa
