LETTERS HOME--1959


Sad and lonely
the days I wrote these
letters home
I found this doll in Japan
I thought of Sis
It's called a Barbie doll
Don't know--the boy is Ken
She can call him Ron like
Her boyfriend--save me a
ride in your boyfriend's Mustang
Ron and Jeri married
Ron still working at his shop
Bel-kirk Mustang cars
How is the rug rat? Walking I'll bet
Jeri is in heaven today
The rug rat my baby sister
Sheryl's boy a Marine
Just returned from Afghanistan
Tell Grandpa I worry he is sick
Grandpa died before the letter arrived
Barbie and Ken--bought the first car
A classic "1959" first issue Barbie
The first boxed set Ken doll.
I am working in the emergency room, Mom
3:30 in the afternoon until 7:30 in the morning
It's not so bad until midnight
After that I'm the only Doctor these guys know
Doc said the suture job I did on this guys face
A masterpiece--I vomited three times
Mom sometimes I don't know what I am doing
I'm not a Doctor but these guys can't know that
Mom died in January of 1973
Just old letters she saved for me
I was taking a patient to Seoul
Rioter tried to turn over the ambulance
My patient in Korean told them to stop
I sure miss home Mom just three more weeks
