I got a new apartment a few years after I moved to Los Angeles and, like she always did any time I moved, mom sent me several cards and letters at my new address so I’d have mail and wouldn’t be lonely. It breaks my heart almost every day that I have no recordings of […]
May 15 I asked you for a psalm about the new song. And you knew I was a little low and gave me something about today, followed by one about song. (Psalm 80:7-19, 81:1-10)
This is so sweet. While I was looking through my mom’s “sent items” in her Yahoo! mail account, I found an email she sent to Pat Dooley, the long-time sportswriter for the Gainesville Sun. The subject line is “Florida/FSU Editorial Cartoon”: Dear Mr. Dooley, A friend of mine just told me about the wonderful cartoon […]
I found a file on mom’s old computer hard drive named Wal-Mart Benches Letter.doc and dated November 8th, 2003.

It’s been forever since I wrote last. Lots of things have stayed the same, some have changed. I didn’t have the colonoscopy in November. It was much later than that and it was okay.

An email mom wrote to her longtime friend and confidant, Sister Carol Mary Morrison: From: Gagne, Kathleen To: Sister Carol Mary Morrison Subject: Hello Again Sent: June 19, 2003 1:52 PM Hi, Carol, Maybe we should be email pals! All is well except that Jen is moving to Chicago in a week and David […]
Jen is home and David is coming the 22nd — for a whole week. I’m having a colonoscopy Tuesday. Ugh. I guess I think all will be well, but, just in case — David & Jen, I loved you before you were born. You are the light and hope of my life — and you […]
It’s been a long time, but I wanted to write down what Susan said today. She said: “Challenge your irrational thoughts!” What a concept! David and [redacted] are coming for Christmas from the 22nd to the 30th! And I’m off all those days! Wow! Now, if we could only come up with some money! With […]
