If I were to write all the things I learned from my Dad, I would be writing for a very long time. The same goes about Mom. Before I leave this world or lose my memory, I must start a Blog for Mom. I do have many notations and stories already written. It is a daunting task to get these things together. I have so many projects going at any given moment. There is no such thing as retiring. In the 1990s, I thought that I needed to write my parents letters. I wrote Dad's first. I have wondered if Mom was a little hurt that I wrote his first but at the time there was a reason for that. The reason escapes me right now. Maybe a birthday or Father's Day. So I would take my writing materials and head to the pizza parlor near us. The kids were still at home and there was no way I could concentrate with them asking me questions. If you are a Mother, you know what I mean. Strangers at a pizza parlor didn't bother me. I would just get something to drink and sit there for a couple hours. The words just poured out of my mind on paper. No typing....no computer...just hand writing. You do all remember what that is, right? I had no trouble writing 10-15 pages at a time to my friends or family. I still have every letter written to me but I doubt anyone I wrote to still has theirs. It's okay. As long as I have mine, I am okay with that. I do have those letters I wrote to Mom and Dad and I will be posting them here very soon. May take me a while to scan them. To Be Continued...
