Love and miss you.

Hi dad, it sure does not seem like 16 years ago you left us. Life is not good any more . Prices on everything has double in prices. The idiot in the white house by the name oh Biden , who has been our government for 40 years has ruien our Country. There is war in Urcrain and Isral and he is supplying them with big money. I am thankful that I am at the end of my life and not the beganing . Every thing is changing big time. People have no respect or common sense.  We have moved out of our farm house and have a bigger home just down over the hill.  Theresa and her husband are renting it and come spring the land will go up for sale as the property taxes are so high. We left 5 acreas with the farm home and buildings and we have 5 acres. I love our new home. Great grand daughter is growing up so fast. She is 12 and almost a head taller than me and she tells me that I,am the shotest one in the family. She is the joy of our lives now. Marla's daughter is excepting a baby in april around the 6th. Wr probably will never see this one as the do not come up. Thw last time we saw them was in 2015 as we to a trip down to North Carolina where the live now. We are not able to drive down there any more due to our health issues. Both Jim and I have heart problems. Well dad i guess I better go and get dress and busy doing some thing. Oh by the way I am the Last grand daughter alive of Grandpa and Grandma Slesdet. Sammy died last year at the age of 93. Miss you and mom so much. Love you.

Hi grandpa I hope you’re doing good in heaven. Tour great granddaughter is 12 now and she is growing up in ro fast in to a young lady . She is my joy in life right now I could not ask for a better granddaughter than her . Mom and dad are doing okay and Tasha and Jonathan are doing good to . I am doing okay for now . I miss you and grandma so much I wish I could have one more day to tell you how much I love you and grandma and say good. Bye to you . I can not believe it has been 16 years you been gone. I love and miss you gpa

Hi dad: well today marks your 108th Birthday. Happy Birthday. It never rains but it pours. I had to have my eyes check today. So have not been able to see good as they put drops in my eyes as that dilated them so my vision has been not so good.  Just one of them things we have to have done when we get older.  Theresa is having some heart issues and her vechile has broke down . Her health is going down it seems . Got to think positive that she is goibg to be alright after the stress test. Well hope all is well with you . Sure miss you and mom. Love you.

Hello gpa happy birthday. Well thing are not good with me I been having chest pains and went to the doctors had a ekg and it’s abnormal so now I have to get a stress test done. Then my truck went down . I just hope everything gets better. Love and miss u every day.

Hello grandpa I can not believe it’s 15 years you been gone. So much has changed. The lady that brought your property has sold it and it has now five house on it. She plotted the land off . Dad has to be on oxygen at night now and mom and dad not in the great health.

Hi dad: does not seem like you have been gone 15 years. Well lif is no different than it was last year. Prices on everything has gone sky high.  Gas has been as high as 4 dollars a gallon and higher. The jerj in the White House and all the demcorats are running our Country to the Ground. They are not working for the people working for then selves. We are managing ok so far. We don't do much any more. Sit to home, get groceries, go to doctors apptointments and get out medicene. Jim is on ogyen at night and his memory is bad  some days he ca not remember what he did . It is not a easy life any more.  You would not reconize your old farm. See, i had to sell it after Mom pasted on as could not keep the taxes and the place up. So sold it. There is now 5 homes on the 18 acres. The barn, the old sheds are all gone. The pole barn has been move up on the land where the garden was and sits behind the double wide home that mom lived in until her death. Changes all over every ehere. Nothing stays the same and it is kind of sad. Well , dad that is it for now. Miss and love you every day. Your daughter.

Hi Dad, hope you and Mom are doing ok. We are ok, both Jim and I have heart issues. I have an enlarged aorta and Jim has a pace maker and 4 stints in his heart. They say this is our Golden Yeas, That is a laugh, as there is nothing Gold about it. The world has gone to H*** in a hang bag as the old saying goes. You and mom are in a better place. Your generation of people would not be making it in todays world, we are having a hard time . Oh well The Lord is taking care of us. Miss and love you .

Hi dad , Happy Birthday. Geez , where has the time gone ? Days are going by fast. Hope you and Mom are doing ok. Life here is not good. The idiot president Biden has no brains. He is letting immigrants come into our country by the thousands every day. They are coming from Venazavala which is a country in South America. We do not have enough jobs or living space for them. Gas , food, and every thing else a person needs to live is sky high. We had Donal Trump for President for 4 years and the stupid people voted Biden in and our countrt is in bad shape. Russia is at war with uracaine as Russia wants to take that country over. We are just living dady by day. There is no future any more. One just has to live each day as it comes. Well Sammy and i are the last remaining first cousins and Sammy is on a kidney machine 3 times a week. I have a heart problem and so does Jim. We both take a lot of pills to stay alive and not be sick. Oh well that is the way it is. Hope you are having a good day.. sure do miss you and mom. Love you.
A

Happy 110th birthday gpa. You would not believe how much prices has gone up and the gas price is 4.00 dollars a gallon . That is ridiculous plus we have a stupid idiot for president. He is the reason the gas prices have gone up . Love and miss u

Hi dad:  it is cold here, we are having a cold winter this year.. looks like it is misting out as the deck window is wet. Guess I for got to tell you , we have moved out of our brick house on the hill by the old barn. We have a modular home just down overcthe hill. We split off 5 acreas and had the house put there. Diid this back in 2019 . Our home is big and I love it.  After mom past away I sold your 18 acreas and now there is four homes on the land and a fifth one is being build right where your old house sat. Times have and are changing. We have a great grand daughter also and she just turned 10 in Dec. Her mother is Theresa's daughters ,daughter. Sh is the apple of Jim and my eyes. Kevin divorced Marla , her and her two kiks live in North Carroina., they are doin ok. Theresa has remarried and they live in our old place. Tasha lives in Allegan and Jonathan lives in There's old place. All are doing ok. Well dad it has been 14 years since you left us. Time is flying by so fast. Hope you and mom are doing ok. We are except there has been a virus thst has put peoples lives on hold for the past two years. It is all due to politics. Well guess i been get going and get come breakfast now. Miss you every day. Love you.

Hi Dad: will another year is about to end and I am hoping next year will be better. We have had a new virus come through at the end of 2019. It was man made by the government. It has kill thousands of people world wide. Also our government is trying to make our country a Socialist Country, take our guns and get rid of the police. Life is not good anymore here on Earth. I am glad I am as old as I am. Just praying for better days. Jim and I both have heart problems, Jim has 4 stints and pacemaker to keep his heart beating like it should and I have a enlarged Aorta which is a value in my heart, If it burst them I am gone. So just living day by day and only doing what we feel up to doing. Think about you and miss you and mom .  Love your daughter Dorothy

hi Dad, sorry i am a day late for wishing you Happy 106th Birthday, Seems as though my days are flying by at times that i loose track of time. jim had an appointment yesterday and turned out we were there on the wrong day and month. He has been having so many dr appointments that i can not seem to keep up with them. he has four stints and a pace maker in his heart and has been having trouble with his blood pressure. So it has see this medical dr and see the heart dr and go and having testing done. This virus that the world has is upsetting every one and everything since 2020. We have to wear face mask in the public. it is nonsense as far as i am concerned.  This virus is nothing but a step up of the flu. The medical people and the government is gone crazy.  We have had worst disease's than this one that has killed people. The problems if when people get sick the will not stay to home and get well , they are out and about spreading the germs and so then people are getting sick. i am taking so many vitimins to keep me healthy. I also have heart problems, enlarged heart that could rupture at any time and i will be gone if that happens. so i am living each day as it comes and only doing what i feel like and can do. Well Dad so sorry for being late on your birthday but guess as the old saying goes it is better to be late than never. Will catch up with you latter. love and miss you and mom everyday.

Yes, it has been 13 years since you left. i do not know where the time has gone. Just could not bring myself to writing yesterday.  Thought about you and reminisced about you and what you did in life. Good memories. Though about the time you taught me how to drive and park. You took metal barrels and place them and took the tractor and put it in one space so that I had to drive up by the side of it and back into to parking space with the car. I was so nervous but you got me through it . Life has changed so much here on Earth. Life is not as good as it has been in the past. We have a great granddaughter and she is the apple of my eyes. She is 9 yrs old already. There is so much to write but it would take a book to write it. We are doing ok. Both Jim and I have heart problem so we just are taking it a day at a time. Love and miss you .

hi Dad , it has been some time since I sent you a message. Well a lot has changed. Due to the virus , i wrote you about last June, we are still under certain restrictions yet. The Governor of Michigan is a bitch. Masks are still required out in public. Restraints, bowling, theaters, all activities have been shut down and has been since last year. People are dying from the virus and all other things. A lot has changed since you and mom have past on. I had to sell your farm cause just could not keep up with two places. Sold it in 2017, There is now four homes on the property . They moved the new pole barn up on the land above the creek. Sorry i have not kept up with you . I am now going to be 82 in July and just not keeping up on things. Jim and i Bothe have health problems which we thought we never would have but that is the way it goes. Sure do miss you and mom. life is just not the same without you's. Dad, i will write again in a couple of days. Take care an miss you. love your daughter.

Happy Father Day Dad. It is a warm beautiful day here on Earth. Pretty peaceful for a change. We have been through might say Hell and Back. There has been a Virus and the Country has been blown to pieces. Things and places have been shut down, The women who is the Governor of Michigan has been a bitch. Our state sill has places shut down and people are suppose to wear masks when out in the public as to keep from or spreading the virus. The stupid people have blown this way out of portion. I am not wearing a mask cause I have problems breathing and my Asthma kicks in and besides it is not my choice and I have the Freedom of Choice per the Constitution. We are doing ok. Jim has finally got his heart problem taken care of . I have a enlarged Aorta of the heart, so I have to be careful as not to do something that will cause it to burst.  I just have to be careful in what i do, cause if it bursts i will be gone. I am not ready to leave this earth just yet. There is so much to live for. We have a great grand daughter and she is the apple of my eyes. Love her so much. She is Tasha's daughter, who is Theresa daughter. Take it easy dad and hoe you and mom are doing ok. Love you and miss you.

Hi Dad, it has been 12 years since you left us on that cold snowy day. lot has changed here, i had to sell your farm after mom left us. jim and i just could not keep up two places. Everything has changed there. on the 18 acres there is now four homes built. it sure looks different and the people who bought the house across form where mom lived , they have let the field between your place and George's grow up . it really bothers me to see this but there is nothing i can do as it is no longer ours. Well Dad have had a new home built on our property also. just down the hill from the brick house. it is bigger but it has just about every thing i wanted in a home. This what we did with the money we got from your farm, the 18 acres. The county is in a turmoil and things are going ok as our President Trump is trying his best to make America a better Country. Well Dad i could go on and on but will end for now. Miss you and mom everyday. Time is flying by. I am 80 years now and does not seem possible. jim is 81. his health is finally got better, mine is not the best but just have to live with it for now. love and miss you dad.

Happy Birthday Dad. Things are just not the same with out you. Think about you and miss you everyday, There is a new house built in the old hay field next to the old drive way.  There is still  two pieces still for sale, one is the 3 corner piece and the one next to it. Everything has changed all over the area. Grandpa and Grandma;s old place has gone down hill and is in bad shape. 
Love you and miss you and mom.

Hi Dad: Happy Birthday. Hope you are having a good birthday. It is cold here today and suppose to get up in to the 50's. We are having a cold spring. The weather is a month behind time. We are doing as good as we can for our ages, I will be 79 in july and jim will be 80 in Dec. Where has the time gone? Miss you everyday. Love Dorothy

Hi Dad; Sorry i have not been on for so long. life has been a busy one for us. Do not know where the time has gone. it has now been 10 years since you left us. Sure does not seem like it has been that long.  hope this finds you doing good.  Miss you everyday. Winter is here and it has been a long one. We have a good foot of now now and still getting snow every day or so. Sold your farm last Sept. the last 18 acres. it was hard to let go of it but we are getting to old to keep up two places and taxes have gone up and money is running out. So thought it best we sell the place. We are now going to work on getting our place ready to sell as it is just too much work to keep up and jim is not in the best of health anymore. he will be 80 this year. Oh my gosh i can not believe it. Well dad take care and you and miss you. Your daughter Dorothy.

Hi Dad: Missing you and hoping you are doing good. I know that you are because every so often a Cardinal will appear in our back yard. Have to tell you I have sold the farm. A retied lady has brought it. She told me this is the most peaceful place she has ever stepped foot on. I feel and know she will take good care of the place. We had to have the barn and the old metal shed at the end of the driveway tore down as they were beginning to fall apart and the cost to fix them was to high. I have pictures of the place. Take care dad love and miss you, your daughter Dorothy.

Hi Dad: Seen a Cardinal today and Yesterday, so I know that you are doing ok. Sorry to say I have put your property up for sale. We just can not keep up two places. Jim has heart problems and can not do as much as he has done in the past. It was hard to make the decision to sell it but had to do it.  Possibly in the next couple of years we will have to sell our place also. Just to much to take care of. I am 78 and Jim will be 79 this year. Grand kids are doing ok.  Theresa has remarried and has a nice man now. Kevin and Marla are not doing so good. Kevin has had an affair with another women, he has lost his mind I think.  He will pay for in in the long run some day. I have no respect for him any more. 
Love and miss you.

Hi Dad. Today is Father Day so want to wish you a Happy Fathers Day. Hope all is well with you and mom. Miss your both. We both are doing ok. Grandkids, Tasha and Jonathan are keeping us busy as is our great granddaughter Ciara who is Tasha;s daughter. She is a pistol and keeps us hoping. She is going on 5 yrs old. You would love her she is the apple o my eye.  Miss you. Love your daughter.

Hi Dad: Hope all is well with you and Mom, Today is Mothers day. Not doing anything special. Just going to take life easy today. We have been cleaning out your old pole barns, still have a lot to do. Since both you and mom are in heaven, we just can not keep up with two places. So cleaning yours' and mom;s place and putting it up for sale. Sorry but we both are getting older and our bodies just will not let us do what w did in our earlier years. Jim has had heart problem,s and my knees are not as good as they use to be even with them being replaced. We have a great granddaughter who keeps us busy when she is here. There is so much I would like to write about but it would take a lot more space. Love and miss you Dad and hope all is well with you and mom. Dorothy
