From Mom's Journal - date unknown - 1979 (age 42)

"My dear Lucy -

I am again in a period of thought that is very difficult for me and I will try to tell you about - because I would like some answers from you.

I find myself confused about my condition and my prognosis. I think sometimes that I am not really sick - am just fine and that is someone's idea of a joke. Then on the other hand maybe I do have something wrong with me but rather than telling me all about it you are making believe it is okay and if I work at it I will be."

To me, it doesn't seem like Mom finished her note to Lucy.
