Birthday Season Exemption
I’m getting a fileserver upgrade, so my computer will be dark for a few days, which would be a problem because Mother’s birthday will fall within that period. Fortunately, I can post this under the Birthday Season Exemption.
My family, for better or worse, is made up of packrats who saved stuff that would be considered inconsequential to most folks. While going through an envelope of greeting, birthday, sympathy and get-well cards, I ran across this snippet of a letter I had written to Mother from Ohio University, probably in 1967.
I’m glad she saved it (and that I found it)
I don’t know what triggered me to write it, but I’m glad I did. I didn’t do that enough to people who are important to me.
Maybe I was trying to recover for letting Mother’s Day slip past me the first year at OU. Trust me, that never happened again.
