The author's goal in writing this book was to preserve the contents of her mother's journals and calendars, as well as her reflections about life and spiritual matters, so that future generations can have a glimpse of the everyday life of a woman who loved God, her family, and the farm she lived on for seventy years. The Years Come and Go is primarily a contribution to a family legacy, but it will also be of interest to anyone who enjoys reading memoirs about the ordinary lives of extraordinary people. Margaret Pearson wrote as she lived, with a soft heart for all living things, a profound trust in God for His mercy, and boundless gratitude for the people in her life. This book could also serve as a reference guide for settling disputes about the weather in Northern Minnesota on a particular day during the years of 1989 to 2015.
In 1932, a 15-year-old boy was transplanted from a small farm in northern Minnesota to a large hospital in Minneapolis. He had been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and was undergoing radiation treatments that produced pain and mind-wrenching homesickness. At the same time, another 15-year-old boy was fighting for his life in a hospital room not far from Ernie. Tom had been forced to leave his home and was riding the rails, looking for work when he became sick. Thirteen years later, a second transplant occurred. This time it was Ernie's brother, Raymond (Fat), who left the Minnesota farm to serve in World War Two. Raymond's letters home are replete with references to a brother with whom he shared a special bond while growing up together. Tribute: Three Lives Remembered is a story honoring the memories of three people whose worlds were both removed from and inextricably tied to each other. It's a story told through poignant letters that spoke consistently and longingly of hope for a return to the small farm in northern Minnesota and the people who lived there.
