“A Letter From a West Virginia Mother To A West Virginia Son!” ~ (anonymous)
Dear
Son,
I am writing this slow cause I know you can’t
read fast. We don’t live where we did
when you left. Your dad read in the
paper where most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we
moved.
I won’t be able to send you the address cause the last family that lived here took the number with them for their next house so they wouldn’t have to change their address.

This place
has a washing machine. The first day I
put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven’t seen them since. It only rained twice this week…….. three days the first time, and four days the
second time.
The coat
you wanted me to send you, your Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to
send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in
the pockets.
We got a
bill from the funeral home. It said if
we didn’t make the last payment on Grandma’s funeral bill, up she comes.
About your
father……. He has a lovely new job. HE has over 500 men under him. He is cutting grass at the cemetery.
About your
sister…… she had a baby this
morning. I haven’t found out whether it
is a boy or a girl, so I don’t know if you are an Aunt or an Uncle.
Three of
your friend’s went off the bridge in a pickup.
One was driving; the other two were in the back. The driver got out…….. he rolled down the window and swam to
safety. The other two drowned. They couldn’t get the tailgate down.
Love, Mom
P.S. I was
going to send money, but the envelope was already closed…
