I can visualize you & your mom at the kitchen table & the conversations that you have/had. Your mom won a writing contest years ago – so its both nature and nurture that helped make you such a beautiful writer. I enjoy reading your blog immensely.

Oh boy, am I ever late to this party.

What a lovely tribute to your mother. It shows the nurtured relationship you share. How touching to see three generations at work, loving each other and teaching each other.

Such a priceless gift for your mom. Words stick around longer than we do.

Oh God, I can’t stop my tears. What a beautiful piece you have written, what an amazing present your mother has given you. Maybe it’s my 4.5 month pregnant hormones, but your blog has touched me so much today. I have been reading your words from the 1st day and it’s amazing how well you can express even the simplest of things. Mothers and daughters are so special. As an only child, my mom is my world. I love her to pieces too but I could have never expressed it like you have. I’m sure your mother could never ask for a better present than this blog… but go get her that sweater too.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Donnelley. Thanks for teaching your daughter how to write. Her words are gifts to us too.
