Dearest Sister: It is 5 p.m. on New Years Eve day and I have just arrived home. Left early this a.m. to work at the Ft, Union Distribution Center- Were extemely busy today.
Myrna, please be at peace with the situation of having sent e-mails to Don. As I told you when I called him back later last night, after he had called me about his concern, I did tell him I accepted responsibility for having you send the article from the Readers Digest- told him you and I had spoken about it with you wanting to know whether I thought it would be okay. I told him I told you yes- my apology to him for anything he felt would intrude in not having information available to Thelma was given. I told him since he called me I had called Eva and you. He did tell me last night he doesn't want either Eva or myself to call to talk with Thelma, as she isn' t functioning too well on the phone. I reasured him his requests will be honored. He did tell me Dr. Stone had told Don not to say anything to Thelma right now- they have an appointment with Dr. Stone in the next week or so, to do further evaluation. Don is really trying to protect her as we can all appreciate.
This whole situation is quite devastating for all and has quickly made necessary some very drastic changes in their (Don and Thelma's lives.)
Myrna; please be at peace- I told Don intentions were good, there was no malintent.
Don is just having a terrific time right now and as he told me when we talked thd Friday before christmas he said he just didn't know what to do. This to be sure is about many things that are coming very quickly.
Oft times each person needs time to take a deep breath and reqroup- for Don this isn't an opinion at this time.
I want to apologize to you for having you go ahead and sent the article from the Digest- it would have been most appropriate for me to indicate to you to not send anything until I had asked Don about it. So dear, I accept responsibility as I told Don- and I think we just the situation go and be extremely charitable to all-- it is a challenge, to be sure, none of us would choose, it the choice was ours.
All I can say is lesson learned for me- by now with all the years and various experiences one would think I would be ready to sprout wings and wear a halo-Guess what???Just isn't so.
Also, dear, as you and I spoke the other day you indicated you had always felt Thelma, Eva and myself had somethng going to us that you didn't and as a result you didn't feel quite up to us.( this may not be exactly what you said or meant, but was my perspection of what you said.)
Myrna, please know there is no truth in your perception as far as I am concerned. We are all very different, as was intended by our Creator, we all have gifts, different to be sure, and all have strenghts--all of this is a divine, eternal plan. Father and the Saviour has never and will never compare us or judge us except on our on merits. We need to be charitable with ourselves and do the same. Well, dear, I am going to close, clean the house, fix some supper and just enjoy the Christmas tree, decorations and all.
Please know how much I love and appreciate you dear- you could not be dearly to me if you were my blood sister- because gospel Sisters are all from the lineage of our Father and Mother in Heaven.
Have a special night and tomorrow with your family.
Love--Just me --your eternal Sister-Helen
