Good morning!! You are right, about "TALKING" it does us good, it is easier to write to each other, don't feel like "choking" up so much, or at least it's easier to control. The more we talk, the more will come out, and we will feel more comfortable expressing ourselves, and feel better inside. This will become a routine with us, and we all need to do it. Just keep up your writing, because through you, our feelings are in front of us, instead of being held deep inside, and hurting...Barb.

Was thinking of ma today, as usual, how she used to call you "DOLLY" when you were REAL little. I remember one time, I was maybe 14, I was going out, and you were crying for me to stay home, and you kept saying, "Don’t go BAABA, Don't go" you couldn't say Barbara, so you called me, BAABA. And ma said, "Barby, she doesn't want you to go, but I said 'I have to"!! Just something I remembered, just a little thing, but so vivid. She always called you Dolly, especially, if you were crying, she always said, in a caring way, "what is it, Dolly". ..Barb.

Also, awhile ago, I did tell you about ma calling you Dolly, thought you had forgot, but did not tell you any stories about it. When you went to say the word dolly, when you were little, you pronounced it"JODDY" instead of dolly!!! Bill and I and Ma used to call you JODDY DOLL. I like the idea of us writing together, I remember so much, especially when you were little, and too young to remember certain things. I sometimes really have to search my memory and sometimes, these things just pop up in mind. Barb.
