Over the years, I've saved many birthday cards and thank you notes. I have them stashed all around my room. Today as I was going through some drawers, I found a whole stash of them. Included were many from my sweet mom. I'd saved Valentine's cards, birthday cards, even a little note from my baptism day.
My favorite was this little gem:
Dear Lauren,
Thank you for the slippers! I love them. Every time I have to go out to the garbage can I slip them on and feel grateful. (And lots of other times too!)
Thanks for all of your help during Christmas. It was fun to have you around. You're always sweeet and thoughtful. My favorite words are always "What can I do to help" - as well as "I love you, Mom."
Thanks for the present and for being so good.
Love, Mom
Okay really, the woman wrote me a thank you note for giving her slippers for Christmas and managed to make it feel personal! I don't think I wrote a thank you note to her in my life. Shame on me! She was always wonderful at paying attention to the small details. I admire her for that!
Many of the notes I found include words of encouragement and love. I am grateful to her for writing those down so that I can benefit from them for years to come!
