I just got done watching Oprah and she ended today's show with the final message of a mother who lost her battle to breast cancer.
This woman, as she was dying, began recording tapes and videos of messages to her daughter for all of the future milestones she would miss with her. I couldn't help but cry as I thought of what this woman was feeling as she was saying good-bye to her daughter in this incredible way. I want to give Rayne something like that but I don't want to be dying in order to do it.
So I decided to make a box of letters for her. I'll make a trip to Michael's for a plain. wodden box and decorate it (most likely with ladybugs) then on every birthday until....well, whenever I decide to stop, I'll write her a letter and put it inside. I'll probably give it to her when she's 18 or graduates - something like that. Not too sure yet, I'm still hashing out the details.
Maybe I'm being too sentimental and she won't even want it, but we'll see.
