The Dad Book
Since I first became a mom, I have celebrated 16 Mother’s Days, 16 birthdays, 16 Christmases, several other special days, and a multitude of “I love you so much, Mom” Days. For each of these days I received a handmade card from at least one of my children. Of course, I try to save them all, and I mostly succeed by putting them in a large cardboard box in the storage room in the basement. When I am old and gray, when my kids have left the house and I have an over-abundance of free time, I will take them all out, slowly leaf through them, and look back on this period of my life.
