December 23, 1964, Wednesday

Worked all day, it’s really getting tough these last days of Christmas. Everybody’s doing there last minute shopping and we’re just going crazy with wrapping. I got off for a break and Mom picked me up. She was very upset with Daddy. He’s giving her a lot of trouble about spending too much money. Now she’s taking back everything she got for herself. She went home crying and I took the car back to work. I picked up a few things for her. I wish I could buy her the best of everything and Daddy too! I’m going to do my best for Christmas. I love them so much!!

My mother, five years later, in 1970.  I miss both my parents everyday and only wish I could have appreciated all they did for me all my life.
