LETTERS FROM THE PAST

This blog is to honor those who have come before us. These are family letters that I have had for years and wanted to be able to share them with family. It's an interesting way of knowing how life was in the past.

LETTERS FROM THE PAST

Myron F Taylor with 3 of his buddies in 1952. Over the last 20 years I've been working on our family letters. Letters that have been passed down. Including letters from my parents to my great-grandmother. Every letter was saved by my great grandmother and grandmother. I hope someday to either print them or give them to a museum. I am copying the letters–not being able to photocopy all of them. Each letter is in script. I know today very few can read them. I hope you enjoy them.

Dec '84 - Dan & Nora

(Grandmother’s handwriting – Dec ’84)

DEAR Mable,

Mom sure enjoyed hearing from you. She really looks forward to the mail each day and has quie a stack of cards and letters to answer.

Mom is getting along pretty good down here but she misses Dad & her own home. She is getting a lot stronger now & when the weather permits we try to walk a mile or two every day. She enjoys her therapy and likes to practice at home. Her eyes still bother her a lot but the doctor thinks ta bigger glasses might help so we going to try that. Her speech is getting better but it is a long slow process.

I have told both her and Dad that when mom is able to go back home they will probably have to hire someone to live there with them to help cook and clean. Dad doesn’t like that but sometimes you have accept things that you can’t change. I told him that at least they would get to be together and in their own home.

Better stop now & get this mailed.

Love,
Dan & Nora
