Dear Aunt Ruth, thank you for your memories. I remember my mom telling me about the very sad morning the day after your mother–my grandmother–died. How dreadfully sad that day must have been. I think I always had a fear of one of my parents dying while growing up and I believe it was because of my own mother re-telling that sad time. I also recall her telling me you were singing that song that same morning.

What a reunion you will have. I can’t wait to meet the wonderful grandma I never met. What joy to look forward too!

In reply to Jane. I've been wondering if you've moved yet. I can't wait to see it. I do understand the tears of being by yourself, but it will be a place for others to enjoy with you. You are blessed, true, but tears and missing your dear Chuck in this new place is understandable. Hugs, dear friend!

I’m making a January memory today -completing my move into my new house. It’s very exciting and wonderful. But there have also been tears this week because I’m by myself in this beautiful home. So I’m a little sad, but mostly blessed.

January has sad memories for me for it was the month of January when my mother died. We had just learned a song at church and that morning I heard my mother sing it while she was fixiing breakfast — “Meet me in the homeland where the roses bloom. There I’ll be forever . . ” I don’t remember the rest. I slept in Dad’s bed and he said I cried most of the night. As you likely remember, your mother, at sixteen I believe, became the “mother” we no longer had. I remember she canned some beef Dad bought but it spoiled. I’ve told you about the dress she made for me out of one of mother’s dresses so I could go to a birthday party in Ft. Peck. And she watched me go up the hill to the party.

I am so grateful, though, that our parents took us to church and set a good example. Now I am the only one left in my generation in both the Richert family and the Jones family. But what a reunion we’ll have!! Aunt Ruth
