Letters Never Mailed: How PKD Ruled My Life

By Norine Case Richolson Tribbey

Letters and writings that showcase one couple's love and compassion through the struggles of life with PKD.

After his beloved wife, Norine "Casey" Richolson Tribbey passed away, Terry Tribbey began gathering together love letters, poems, dream journal, and unmailed letters to friends that Casey had written throughout the course of their forty-year marriage. As Terry read through Casey's writings, a clearer picture of their relationship came into focus--one that is a testament to the strength of their bond and to the hardship of the struggles that unfolded as a result of Casey's battling polycystic kidney disease.

Notes and asides authored by Terry accompany Casey's writings, sometimes to provide context, and sometimes to explain his perspective. But even in the descriptions of the lows in their relationship, the everlasting bond between Casey and Terry is undeniable.

In this epistolary labor of love, Terry has compiled Casey's writings chronologically--a form that puts the bits and pieces of their lives into place--creating a remarkable mosaic that showcases the pleasure and pain from four decades of marriage.
