I'm Back!

Okay, Im back...finally! It has been a hard few months and where to start Im not sure. If I type everything that has gone on I will be here next month still typing so I will try and highlight the month of December.
One of the main reasons I quit blogging for a while was that I was afraid that the secret would get out. The secret of "the book" as it is known now. For those of you who don't know what "the book" is I will explain a little.
Are you ready?
This turned into a 6-month project but was so worth my time.
To save time I am copying what I wrote in "the book" under preface. This explains all of it.

When I was younger I remember seeing pictures of my paternal grandma. It was a
face that I didn't recognize. I didn't think much about her, for I only knew her name and that she had red hair. Now that I am in a different stage in my life, married and with three young children I have a little different perspective on life then I did back then. I hadn't thought much of my grandma in years until I came across a handwritten letter addressed to Ray and Violet Dewey. The Dewey's were friends and neighbors to my grandma and grandpa when they lived in New Plymouth, Idaho. They were taking care of her newborn baby while she was mentally ill at St. Benedicts Hospital in Ogden, Utah. The letter was dated May 13, 1952 and I realized that this was probably the last thing she wrote before she passed away. As I read these precious words I couldn't hold back my tears. My heart ached for her and for the pain that she felt as she longed to be with her family again. After reading that letter I instantly wanted to know more about her and her life. That night we spent many hours reading letters and looking at old photos of Virginia and learned
just a little of the amazing person that she was. It was then that I realized that this information was priceless and didn't belong in a box. I wanted all her family to be able to enjoy the legacy she left. This book is a result of what has been gathered together in the past 6 months. I am not an expert as writing but have tried my very best to relay the information as it was told by Virginia herself and what has been written about her life. I've done this in love and have tried to be sensitive to those who will turn these pages.
