I've found one I've been thinking about buying - and found Becky's post on her beautiful lobster tablescape, which she wrote back in 2011. Then I clicked to see the most recent post, and read your letter, and what happened to Becky. I never knew her, and until today have never seen her blog, but just reading your letter to her has been such a blessing to me. My husband and I had just been sending texts about how lucky we are to have each other, and hard times we've been through together, and then I found this letter. I'm so glad that you and she had - have - that magic. It's a real miracle, that kind of bond. Thanks for sharing.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-35902621561627816722014-07-25T20:53:44.980-05:002014-07-25T20:53:44.980-05:00I haven't been back to this blog for a long ti...I haven't been back to this blog for a long time...... Mike, your letter touched me very deeply.I came here today because even after all this time, Becky is still the second most often commenter on my blog! I got to thinking about her & thought I'd see if her blog was still around.....<br /><br />I really loved Becky & I miss her so often - especially every time I go by the corner of Drake & California Streets - where I would turn off to come to y'all's house. I didn't get to see her very much ever in person - the last two times were accidental and probably 2 years before she passed, but I started reading her blog after she first commented on mine.<br /><br />There's so much I want to say but I tend to ramble on too much so I'll just say thank you for being her wonderful, adored husband & sharing her with us.helenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885523787103369661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-63514441835423873672012-12-25T00:23:04.414-06:002012-12-25T00:23:04.414-06:00Très jolie publication... tant d'amour...

I was talking to my friends about Fiesta and told them I knew a lady who was like the dean of Fiesta, she taught me so much not just about Fiesta but also dishes and dish collecting. I miss Becky. This world is a better place because she was here.

And through her words, I came to know you and your daughters -- and her illness. The day I found out she had passed, my heart ached for your loss and for ours. Her gift for writing, her joy for life, her love of family and friends and her incredible optimism remind me daily to give and receive the same love and happiness to my own family and friends. It also does my heart good to read your letter to her. How very fortunate you both were to share your lives. Thanks so much for allowing us to see her through your eyes. I wish you and your girls comfort and peace. <br /><br />Cora Sedlacek<br />Carbondale, ILCorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819329767302611516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-36908017042693824632011-12-06T16:56:07.307-06:002011-12-06T16:56:07.307-06:00Beautifully said, Mike.

We had lots of fun together at the various HLCCA conferences over the years. You called Becky "bubbly" and that is a perfect way to describe her.

My Christian belief system tells me that somehow, Becky can read or feel your words and would echo them to you.<br /><br />My heart cries for you and your daughters, but your optimism makes me feel that everything will be alright. Many of us have read about how proud Becky was of you and the girls, and now I see why.<br /><br />Why not be Becky's guest blogger and keep us updated on your life? You have an outstanding way with words, and I know your notes would be interesting. You could even post a recipe of Becky's occasionally. Please think about it!<br /><br />With sympathy and very best wishes,<br />MarciaMarcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28403347.post-40125275617080891702011-12-03T08:53:01.116-06:002011-12-03T08:53:01.116-06:00Dear Mike,
