To my mom, October 24

Saturday, October 24, 1981

          Dear Lance,
          3 days ago you reached your 7-month birthday and to mark that day your first two teeth showed up. I'm getting you ready to celebrate your 1st Halloween by making you a clown costume. We'll take pictures to send to the Grandmas and Grandpas.
          Dad and I love you very much, God bless you.…

          Dear Mom,
          In about 3 hours Ewan and I will be getting ready to go to the church Harvest Festival. We'll run the football toss game booth and pass out candy, me dressed as Bruce Lee (in the yellow track suit from Game of Death—don't worry, you never saw it) and Ewan going as the awesome 11-year-old he is. He's starting to feel like dressing up is not where it's at. I'm okay with that.
          We love you very much, and I feel God has you.…

My mom died on January 7, 2026. She was 70 years old. It was both her time and not her time.
