Letter to Krista





You know, things were pretty good around our house.......for 51/2 years!! I was top dog!! Then, along came a new little girl and she got to be top dog!!!(at least for the next 5 years when another little girl joined us!) You were pretty cute and I guess it took me a couple of days to accept you.








I think the little girl years were the hardest. While you had no problem tattling on me, you were still very useful. If there was something I wanted to do and Mother said no, I put you to work! All you had to do was crawl up on Daddys lap and tell hm what I wanted to do and after a couple of minutes of cuddling and whinning, it was a done deal! I wonder why Mother and Daddy never caught on to what I was doing? Maybe they did, maybe they did....








The teenage years were interesting!! We did some things together even if it sounded like a bad idea!! You always kept my secrets(at least I think you did!). I remember how scared I would get every time you had to go into the hospital for ear surgery. Thank God you always came home safe and sound.








In your later teen years came a handsome young Airman named Frank. He has been such a joy to our family. He stepped in and took care of all of us when things got so very bad and we needed him so much. Thank you, Krista, for bringing Frank into our lives.








Just when we had all given up hope that you and Frank would ever have a little one, along came Sweet April.She was so worth the 5+ years of waiting. She was such a sweet baby. After another 5 year wait, along came Kelli. We knew she would be special since her birthday was 7-7-77. And, she, too, was worth the wait. Both girls have grown into lovely young women. They are very loving, caring, sensitive young ladies. A joy to be around.








Now, somehow, we have reached our later years. Where did the years go? I guess since we were living a few hundred miles apart that may have had something to do with it. The last 2 years have been the best for me. I am so glad we moved back "home". You know, as the oldest daughter, I always felt like I had to be the strong one in times of crises. But that is not how it turned out. You just took over when Daddy died. Then when my Jamie died so suddenly, there you were again. How did you do it? Just 3 months after Jamie died, we lost Mother. I was such a mess that I was of no help to you. But,you and Frank pulled together once more. No matter what is thrown at you, you seem to handle it. I am in awe of you and I wish I were more like you. You are a wonderful wife,Mother, and sister. You are my partner in crime! We do some interesting things and always have fun. As we work on our web pages together and I get in some real messes, you always have a way to get me back to my senses!! Not an easy task because I can get really lost in cyberspace!! Remember the night I thought I had contacted some space person because the message I recieved was really out of this world? I am still not sure that message wasn't from someone out in space!!! You were even amazed when you saw it and I do believe April was speechless.And, even if your halo slips once in awhile, that's just fine.You will always be an angel to me. Anyway, thank you for everything.











I love you
