Several years ago we cleaned out my moms house and I found her diary for a specific period.   My mom loved to write and she wrote on everything:   Newspapers, envelopes.   It was special that I found this diary as I had never seen her write in a specific diary.   I have been wanting to transcribe the diary.   Starting tomorrow, I will begin transcribing the diary and tell you a story of my mom and her life with her son and husband.  Please join me everyday.   cg
