So glad you have your mom's diary. I'm kicking myself for throwing out my mom's handwritten recipe books etc. but after my mom died it was all so overwhelming that I was ruthless in throwing out years of accumulations.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-30074169743291354862012-02-19T17:29:05.947-05:002012-02-19T17:29:05.947-05:00Thank you so much for sharing that story.

A few years later, I wanted to read anything he had written. My mother informed me that she had burned all of his writing shortly after his death. I was shocked and horrified. They had a stormy marriage, but I was truly surprised and disappointed. Today, there is a box of my own journals going way back that I sometimes wonder what to do with. My daughter knows where they are so she can retrieve them if I get hit by the mythical bus. Your story reminds me to go through them soon and burn the ones I do not want to be seen... or at least some pages!Thea Beleczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987139441091333949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-79009708202275007682012-02-17T12:34:13.635-05:002012-02-17T12:34:13.635-05:00Thanks for sharing this story.

I never want my kids to read them. But I keep the notebooks I jot notes, grocery lists, phone numbers, etc in. I think they are so much more telling of my everyday life. (And thanks to you, I may just ponder how some of my older ones could be incorporated into art.)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-87214154484449467032012-02-17T10:34:39.392-05:002012-02-17T10:34:39.392-05:00i used to keep tons..hundreds of journals. persona...i used to keep tons..hundreds of journals. personally i would never want anyone to read them but then, i'm betting your mom wasnt living the kind of life i did :) glad you got that diary and love that its incorporated into your work.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-43264102090141549312012-02-17T10:06:34.270-05:002012-02-17T10:06:34.270-05:00I wish you had your grandmom's diaries too.

I wonder what tangible things we'll have left in the future that will allow us to see the past....we're all online and very few things are written down anymore. Good for you....love the work you've made!Missouri Bend Paper Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153989891514458384noreply@blogger.com
