Today an Instagram friend from Calgary held one of her regular virtual letter writing socials, which are a fantastic way to sit and write parallel to people and get some tips on typewriters, stationery, etc.
She suggested, with Mother’s Day approaching, that we write to our Mother’s or a mother figure in our lives. I began scrambling to decide who I’d write to, as OBVIOUSLY one can’t write to a dead woman. Can one?
I did. I think it’s my favourite project so far on my trusty 1940’s Royal (though I kept having ribbon issues). A bit bittersweet, but a good pause to raise a key to my Mom.
She was one of a kind!!! I loved her laugh, her energy, her love for the Lord. She took a young teenager under her wing while we were students together at Emmaus and showed me life!!!
I’ll never forget us both laughing our heads off when she caught her umbrella on a parking meter and turned it inside out. We had such fun together.
Betsy you were one who she would have said the same for, thank you for being such a good friend to her and our family!!
