I don’t know if it’s women in general or just moms, but sometimes it seems like we’re hard to shop for.
“What do you want for Christmas?”
Having you here is gift enough for me!
“What do you want for your birthday?”
Oh, I don’t need anything. Don’t get me anything.

May 18, 2013 at 3:20 pmIf my mother and I were closer, I would by a pretty notebook and I would write her a letter. I would put the notebook somewhere in her house I know she would find it, and in the letter ask that she write me a letter.
If all went well, we’d have 6 letters or more from each other in there and we could learn more about each other. We could ask questions we might not be able to verbalize. Something we could just be ourselves in – with each other.
