Dear Beth,
Been thinking of you a lot since last night's earthquakes hit the area around Trinidad. Wondering if you are okay? I hope that you are safe and there is no damage to where you are living. I hope that you did not get to frightened by the shaking, I know how you were when you were little about things like lightening and thunder and loud noises so I can imagine how the earthquake would have affected you.
I also heard that you have returned to school, I am so please to get this news. I hope you do well and get your degree. You deserve to go far and get ahead. I only want my children to do better with their lives than I ever did.
I also wonder how your wedding plans are going. I wish we could be planning this together. This should be something a mother and daughter should be enjoying together. I also know that right now you need to be spreading your wings and creating your own life, so I am trying my best to respect that, but I am not happy about it. I ache each and every day to have you in my life again, you are my only daughter and I miss you with every breathe. I love you dearly and wish we could work this out. I hope one day you will forgive all the hurtful words and feelings and move on with life and come back to loving us and allowing to be a part of your life again. Until then I must remember I LOVE YOU WITH EACH PASSING MOMEMT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!!
God Bless You, I love you and Always Will,
Mom

50 Years of Marriage
Dear Elizabeth,
Just a few days ago on August 12, we celebrated with your grandparents as they marked their 50th wedding anniversary!! What a great accomplishment to witness!! I only wish you could have been here to be a part of the celebration. Your aunts and I planned for a year to throw them a surprise party. On Saturday, August 13, we managed to pull off that surprise and throw them a wonderful party. We had family from California, Mississippi, Louisiana and the western slope of Colorado. We also had friends from all over Colorado and some from Montana, friends that your Nanny and Papaw had not seen in several years.
It was a wonderful time, so many friends and so much family. All your cousins, only Jonathan was away, he had to return to college. Of course the only downside from our family was you were not there!! There was a huge empty spot without you! One of the presents we gave Nanny and Papaw was a family picture, one without you in it.

As you can see the picture is very nice, but without you there it just is not complete. I hope one day very soon, we can take another photo to replace this one on Nanny and Papaw's wall.
I also want to share some really good personal news with you, I have lost 50 pounds!! I have surpassed one goal and I am only 20 pounds from my second goal. I plan to meet that second goal by Christmas. For the party I bought a new outfit of shorts and a new shirt, two sizes smaller! Everyone has said they can see how much I have lost and that I look really good. I can see it when I look at pictures from the past and when I put on clothes. I am feeling much better and liking it a lot.
I hope and pray that you are doing well and that soon we are reunited!! I love and miss you so much!!
Mom
