Every year my Mother writes each of her children a letter. It is about the special memories from the previous year and a special little tribute to each child. We love these letters. So much in fact that as we have gotten older, they have become much more important than any other gift. This year I wrote my Mom a letter for the first time. I will not be home for Christmas and I thought it would be a special tribute to her and all the love and support she has given us over the years.
