Hey, Sisters! I will be going to see Mom and Dad Friday morning if the "Lord's willing and the creek don't rise"! We are getting a new roof on our house and these last several days have been chaotic at best! Hopefully it will be done by the end of the weekend! Anyway, we were cleaning out stuff out of our attic and I found a box of my high school stuff and a diary I had written when I first went to college! It was pretty interesting to read. But, what I wanted to share was that all through the diary I mention Mother and Daddy and how they were such good parents and how sweet they were! I mention several times about calling Mother when I was homesick and how she was so sweet and made me feel better. It was priceless, because I don't really remember thinking all that! I also talk a lot about writing Jeanie and about how Judy and Leisa would come visit us. One time I wrote " I miss Mother and Daddy and little Jamie so much!" Is that not funny? It was just strange to read words that I had written 40 years ago! okay, love you all! pat

That IS priceless! I'm so glad you found that! Life gets so crazy and we tend to forget the moments from our past that we "survived"...now you have some of that written down forever. I have a big box of my past as well...yearbooks, pics,a diary, etc and there's a box full of letters from high school and college. I have several from you Patsy...I remember when I would go to the mailbox at Gideon or Murray and there'd be a letter, it made me feel so special!! People don't really write real letters much anymore and it's a shame. I have a box of letters from Jerry in college as well...plus I printed out every email he sent me from both times he was in Iraq...I thought someday the boys and I will love rereading all of them. I'm really happy for you Pat. Love you, Little Jamie
