Letters from my mum.

I always have enjoyed receiving letters as apposed to email.I find them much more personal and somehow less offensive (if that makes any sense). In the past few years my mother and I have bee writing regularly more so than in the past.Probabaly because she has more time on her hands now ,being retired but active. I have been blessed to receive many of her beautiful cross stitch patterns over this past year especially. She is extremely gifted in this craft and gets great enjoyment from doing them. She is always happy to express her pride when she receives updates on the stepping stones of her granchildren's acheivements and lives and often ponders on how we got to this stage in our lives, her being 70 and me almost 50.
