… because that award is held by me.

I was just looking for something I was almost sure I’d find buried deep inside file folders in the bowels of a huge desk my husband and I use basically as a garbage can.

I found the document I needed. But first? I found a stack of thank-you notes I wrote but didn’t mail, for presents I got when my daughter was born.

My daughter is. almost. six. years. old.

More than half the people to whom the cards were written are now dead.

So, just give yourself a pat on the back because you will certainly get to yours before your child is in kindergarten.
