Mom Saves The Day

Many years after this journal entry this is my Mom baking with the help of my happy Kayli.

 September 2nd, 1980

"Today I felt so Dumb and picked on in English.  I missed 7 out of twenty.  The teacher called on me when I wasn't ready so I felt so ignorant.  Literature was fair but I felt so DUMB.  Luckily Mom saved the day and made me feel much better.  She said everyone has a day like that sometimes.  I hope tomorrow is much MUCH better (But of course as the Lord wills).

*Due to the recession at the time, my Dad lost his construction business and was working a few hours away.  He came home only maybe every other weekend -- and I am not sure he got to come home that much.

"Dad is so lonely.  I wrote him and mom wrote him a letter but no one else will.  I don't want him to feel lonely any more.  I guess I shouldn't act best, judge or tell people what to do.  I wish I wouldn't do that!"

*And for the record, they perhaps all wrote him at a different time -- just not when I told them too!
