I made you a card yesterday, but it won't reach you in time for your birthday so I thought I would post it instead.

Mom,
i will always cherish . . .
when years ago, I must have been 9 or 10 and very sick with the flu, you asked me if I wanted tea, and after I said "yes," you and my brother ( we'll just call him "I"), snuck up into my room while I was asleep and left a pot of tea and a teacup (basically a full tea setting - cream, sugar, teaspoon) beside my bed. Now most people may have brought their daughter tea in bed, but you always went the extra mile to make things special (even when I was in state where I could not fully appreciate it).
i will always cherish . . .
our shopping trips in high school, after a bad day. One bad day I remember was after my first break-up with the man who is now my husband. I remember you said - "we'll make him know what he is missing out on . . ." And we went to Omaha and went shopping all day for an outfit I could wear to school after the break-up so that I would look great the next time I saw him . . .
i will always cherish . . .
when you and my sister (we'll just call her "D") came to visit me when I was studying abroad in the UK. You were such a trooper - looked beautiful every day and dragged your suitcase everywhere in London - through the underground and up mountains of stairs.
that no matter where I live you are always the person that comes to visit me the most. And you are always ready for any adventure - especially more shopping.
Washington D.C.
Los Angeles
i will always cherish . . .
that you are so predictable. I know exactly what you are going to say - before you say it - and exactly how you will say it.
Love you always,
Your daughter
