Topic: Cousin(s) (05/22/08)
Dear Gwen,
I’m happy to be pen pals.
Rit bak son.
Love fram your cuzin,
Brenda

Deer Brenda,
Getting male is so fun. Rit bak son.
Love,
couzin Gwendolyn


Dear Gwen,
Boo-hoo, my frend Natalie isn’t in my class.
My teacher is nice.
BFF!
Brenda

Dear Brenda,
My teacher is mean. Mama says wait and see.
When are you cuming to my house?
BFF!
Gwen


Dear Gwenny,
I’m sorry Brownie died. I miss her, too. She was a good dog. Will you get another one?
Love,
Brendy

Dear Brendy,
Thank you for the card. I thought I would get to see you, but Mom said losing a pet isn’t quite like when a person dies and you get to see the hole family.
Love,
Gwenny


Dear G,
Mom says PMS is a good time clean and declutter, sigh. It’s certainly not the time to give yourself a haircut. Mom says it will grow back, but… Boo-hoo. Have any hats I can borrow, ha-ha-ha? At least it’s winter time…

Dad says you’re traveling around Europe after your semester there is over? Can I come, too? Ha-ha, yeah right, in my dreams… Have fun and be safe! Love, B

Dear B,
London is awesome! Yeah, my roommate is meeting me over here at the end of the semester and we’re touring around for three whole weeks! It’s gonna be awesome! I can’t wait! Miss you! See you ASAP when I get back! I have tons of pictures…!
Love, G


Dearest Gwen,
Congratulations on your engagement! You’re so lucky. Curt is a great guy.
Are you sure he doesn’t have any single, nice, cute, Christian friends for me, ha-ha-ha?
Love,
Your lonely cousin,
Brenda

Dearest Brenda,
Thanks for your card and gifts. They’ll look perfect in our new home! (There’s SO much to do!)

Don’t you worry, the right guy is somewhere out there! God has plans for you, too!

I’m so psyched that you agreed to be my maid of honor! It’s going to be a blast. Maybe we can go dress shopping when I come and visit next month? Here’s a picture of my gown for your eyes only!
Love,
Gwen


Dear Gwen,
I’m so psyched for Bobby’s baptism! It’s been way too long since we saw each other. I’m so honored you guys chose me to be his Godmother. I’ll do my best, promise.
Try to get some sleep!
Love, Brenda

Dear Brenda,
Thank you for your thoughtful, kind, (and too generous) baptism gifts for Bobby. He’ll be in college before we know it! It meant so much to us to have you there.
So… when are you and Chase going to make things official?? He was great with Bobby; he’d make a fine Dad! (Sorry, no more pushing from me. Not that you need it, but… we approve!)
Love, Gwen


Dear G,
Thank you so much for the wedding gift; it’s perfect! Having you there to stand by me made our day extra special!
I can’t believe how big the twins are getting! Hopefully Chase and I will have a houseful of our own someday, Lord willing.
The honeymoon was awesome! It was definitely worth the (long) wait! ;-)
Thanks again.
Love, B

Dearest Brenda,
I can’t believe this, I just can’t. You can fight it--you can. You have to. You’re stronger than It. (I refuse to even spell it out...) Did you make an appointment with that doctor Curt knew of? Make sure you get a second opinion. Hoping it’s all just some horrible mistake… Call me if you need me, ANY time.
LOVE ALWAYS,
Gwen


Dearest Gwen,
Yes, I had my five year (and final) scan last week; I’m still clear. YEA!!!!!!!!
The whole thing was really, REALLY awful. But, I did grow closer to God through it all--and to Chase. He was so great; taking care of the kids, and the house--and me…
Love,
Brenda
PS Did you have your yearly exam? I’ve earned the right to nag, right?

Dearest Brenda,
SO glad your last scan was okay, WAHOO!
Maybe when we’re wicked old and gray we can be roommates again--like we were on all those sleepovers when we were kids…
Love,
Gwen


Dear Gwen,
This is silly.
Write back soon, ha-ha-ha.
Love,
Brenda

Dear Brenda,
Humor an old lady, will you? I still love getting mail. Don’t you?
Love,
Your faithful cousin and roommate,
Gwen
PS How on earth did we get to be 90? Where did the time go?

What a glorious presentation!
In just one page of honest correspondence, you gently and truthfully moved us, the readers. I'm touched by the flowing years that sped by with blood relations, crowned with much love!
Very graciously written. I praise God for you!
