day 70 | ‘dearest son’

February 8, 1989. Letter from my Mom.

dearest son,

how are things? did you see princess di when she was in new york?

my mother called me and said “betty, i had the most wonderful surprise – steve called me
from new york!”. she never had a call from new york in her whole life and was very thrilled.
thank you for brightening her day.

“where we love is home. home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts”
– oliver wendell holmes

sometimes i do miss you and your brothers so much. it’s sad having you all live so far away.
my family means so much to me – we love it so when we’re all together.

love,
mom
