Found and Love

So actual progress - as far as consolidating and donating - has been arrested after dealing with my mother's clothing. Photographs and letters are simply going to have to wait. Though I am inspired to go home and more properly deal with the things that I have been saving and yet not using for some time. Among the papers was this email I sent my mother in May, 2001. A masterpiece it is not, but its sentiment is true. I'm going to break it up with some photos I found. The email heading was 'an early mother's day thought-o-gram' and then the writing was titled 'why i love my mommy.' No capitals because I was avante garde (bull).
