"As I go to sleep and this poem closes my book to you, I will be dreaming of meeting my love Ivar, my son Paul, Jesus, and Elvis you too." Helen O. Larson was born October 24, 1910 and brought up in a small New England village named Rockland. It was subsequently destroyed in the 1920s to build the Scituate Reservoir. Forced to leave their farm, her family relocated to the village of Hope. Later she married, had two sons, and then divorced. In 1956 she met Ivar E. Larson, the driver of the Pawtuxet Valley Bus line. He drove the bus she would travel on to her house cleaning jobs. One spring morning as they were talking she expressed she really did not want to go to work. His reply was, don't go. She in turn replied she had to. Her husband had left her and she had to provide for her two sons. He mentioned his wife had left him also. And so began a love story. Helen tells her story in poems of how much she loved Ivar, how much she missed him, and how she prayed he would return, knowing all along it could never be.
