Awkward?

I got a birthday box from my parents recently.  It included a letter that announced itself as awkward.  Was it?  Not in the slightest.  I love reading those sappy letters from my mother, my biggest cheerleader.  I don’t know how many more of those I will get, so I’m treasuring them now.

I used to joke that my mom was becoming more and more like my grandma, and that I was becoming more and more like my mom, and that I could see where that was leading.  I hope that I can become more like my mom and learn to write my own sappy, encouraging letters to my children.  I guess I better start practicing.
