I just want to tell you I hope you come home soon.  I really miss you.  I don’t know why.  I think it is the earthquakes.

Love,
Mom

Yes, your father & I will attend your wedding.  Many have received their invitation and have mentioned it to me, so they have been successfully delivered.  Hopefully you are getting a good response on your end.

I hope your two broken arms and sprained fingers heal soon so that you may telephone us once again.

Sigh.

Love you!

Mom

Backstory: I hadn’t talked to her in, oh, a couple of hours.

You mad at me/ or just kinda of a poopie head? I wish you would call me, or write. I miss you like coffee misses cream, like a hot dog misses mustard, whenever you eat one, in that weird ketchup way.

Backstory: It’s Wednesday, I emailed my mom this morning to tell her how tired I have been this week. I haven’t received any texts or calls from her all week. I am not married nor do I have kids, I am 21 and live with my boyfriend and our new dog.

I have been texting you all week. And calling

I have really been worried about you.  I text that if I didn’t hear from you this morning I would be stopping by your house and if you weren’t there I was calling the police.

I haven’t heard from you since Saturday!

That’s just crazy – even if you don’t want to talk to me (like your sister said you said) you at least text me something.

I love you, I’m so happy you are alive and breathing, and so sorry you are so tired.  There is no rest for a working mother and wife.  I love you bigger than the milkyway exponentially squared.

Backstory: I’m my mother’s oldest child and away at school. Jane is my baby sister, she’s almost 4 and my younger brother is 17.

hi ladybug!

miss you like crazy and finding things to do around the house. jane and i have started painting—yeterday, i started an amazing portrait of a ballerina from the front of that San Francisco Ballet catalogue they always send us. i’m quite proud of the work so far, though jane’s talent leaves a little to be desired. i’m not a bitch! she’d be the first to admit it! just don’t tell her i told you that :) maybe she’ll improve once she gets as little older.

also, i cleaned out the front hall closet yesterday and found a blue and orange umbrella. is it yours? do you want me to send it to you? i thought i might also find your little brother in there, but alas, not yet. if he mentions anything to you, will you please let me know? i’m tired of waiting.

call me if you need anything or want that umbrella, i can ship it out with the cookies i just made.
love you to pieces,
momma

have i told you lately how grateful i am for your existence? i forgive you for that awful labor, the episiotomy and those awful stitches, and even those 5 months of colic.

Dear Daughter,
This is a test. If you do not respond by email by 8 p.m. tonight, I will assume you never received it. Last time I tried to send you an email it was returned with a message that I was not accepted as a legitimate correspondent or something to that effect. It was months ago that this happened. Bottom line…the attempt to communicate failed not because I used a wrong address but because I did not pass muster and was halted by some GATE KEEPER. Your legal Mother

Hi there ….

I thought you might appreciate this dream I had last night …. I dreamt that my armpit hair was all the way down my sides and it was black. Isn’t that sick?? ewwww I don’t know why I dreamed that.

Ok … well I hope you had a good night. Did you happen to mention to M about P’s ring? Just wondering.

We can look for vacuums later this week. Will you go with me to Eastern Market Saturday morning to buy flowers? Remember I’m making cupcakes for you!!!!!

Well your never online anymore for me to talk to you and you never answer my texts.

Love,

Mom (De) but you can call me MOM

Just thought since you did not call ME, I would email to let you know I have a stress fracture in my leg near my knee and have to be off my feet for 2 wks. Yeah right, like I have time to do that. See you soon, ME.

it might be nice if you could actually CALL & just see if I am OK. Ruptured ear drums hurt and there will be no phone in my coffin. m

Good Morning Baby girl!

I haven’t talked to you in “TWO DAYS”.

Hope you are doing well?

I miss you!

Is your phone broken or lost?

Did you elope?

Did the cat suck the life out of you in your sleep?

Are you in jail?

Did cannables eat you?

Just wanted to tell you how much I love you.

Oh and by the way I am doing great.

Call if you need anything.

I love you bigger than the milkyway to the infinity power squared!

Hi there!

How are you? How come we don’t hear from you anymore? Are you still coming home for that appointment on Thursday? Please don’t cancel it; it is too important. Also, you should not have “relations” EVER before a PAP test. Did you know that? It can change the results. I’d make sure that I did not, for a couple of days before. Would you want me to try to schedule a dental cleaning, too? That IS M’s day, and she might just have an opening. You have put that off much too long, too. Let me know.

Thanks!

MOM

Backstory: My mom complains that I don’t call home enough, but she calls me even less. So when she actually did call once, and I didn’t call back, this was the result.

What’s a mother to do?  I buy you a phone.  I pay your telephone bill.  But can Miss High and Mighty Doctoral Student return a poor mother’s message? No way.  How dare an insignificant mother impinge on the important daughter’s time.  All that this mother had done- scrubbed floors, made unique designer clothes, cooked healthful meals is no matter.  Madame daughter is too busy.  Sorry I have to stop now I have an appointment with my lawyer to change my will.  Mom

p.s.  guess what I found when I was putting stuff back???  The piano books< right
where I PUT THEM__UNDER THE COUCH IN THE LIVING ROOM (I”M NOT TRYING TO USE CAPITAL
LETTERS< BY THE WAY< I JUST CAN”T GET THIS COMPUTER to stop making them>  wHAT IS

i’m sending you David Lanz.  (Oh, I think it’s fixed now)
