I was in the convent in 1963 so life was quite different for me from yours and I never wrote a letter home that was so descriptive and thoughtful as yours. <br /><br />I'm sorry now that I didn't read many blogs in April--a month that got away from me. Because it's clear from this letter that I missed so much of your early life. I hope that I'll have time this summer to go back to your April postings. Take care.
