The 1000 Moms project... my letter of thanks
Or as we say down under "Mums"... Mum, I twittered already with: thank you, Mum, for showing what it is to love #1000gifts #moms bit.ly/JagpZS But thank you also for: finding shirts at your Op Shop, one of which is marked small and yet miraculously fits for sharing with me your love of nature and pretty things (and champagne taste on a beer budget!) for letting one of us kids take the last piece of cake / shrimp / whatever was on the table for letting us make our mistakes and still loving us for letting me move overseas even though that must've crushed you to see your only daughter go for being the family communicator for being a Mum to whomever needed it at the time for showing what it is like to serve God for accepting those phone calls: "Mum, I'm using Nana's cookbook. What's a gill of milk?" and having patience with basic cooking questions for ironing so I don't have to for loving me even though you were 48 ...
