Writing

 Writing doesn't make anything better.

  1. I have a card, sitting on our lowboy, dated March 26. In part, it says, "It is terribly trite, but yet so true, that you have been in my thoughts and prayers these days."

    1. I should qualify that; I thought to write to you, but had no address.
      I wrote anyway.

  2. Hi Louise. Mike Anderson. I don't know how to subscribe so I lost you when you left facebook. Your writing helps me. I can hear you saying what you write and it brings me joy. I will figure out how to follow because I need that joy in my life. Thank you. I love you.

  4. Louise. You are my hero. If you don't remember me, I will never forget you or Tom. On a whim I took your Memoir class when Tom solo taught it (you were in Hawaii). It changed my entire trajectory in life. I've been teaching at BYU for 18 years because I took that Memoir class that Tom solo taught. I have tried to write but since my son (also named Tom) died, I know exactly what you mean when you say it doesn't make anything better. I wish life were easier.

  5. Thinking of you, thinking of Tom. Wishing for you peace and comfort. This stuff is so hard.
