“Letters to Mom”

One of her journals I found is titled “Letters to Mom”. It’s a collection of letters she wrote to her mother — my “Nana Anna” — starting about four months after her death.

Hi, Mom,
Happy New Year!

I hope this year is better than last year. I miss you so much.

I fell yesterday and hurt my right shoulder. I’m in a lot of pain.

I was just wondering if you can somehow help me lose weight. That is, if you’re there.

I wish you were here.

Love,
Kathie
