Something WRITTEN.
Greeting Cards to People from my Past
Dear Diane,
Thank you for the hours of Barbie® and horse statue play. I loved your long straight hair.
Love, Carla
Dear Natalie,
The giant’s shoe that you said hit the window was really a bird and I know that.
Love, Carla
Dear Mrs. McCloud,
I feel vaguely guilty about things but, frankly, you were the adult in that situation.
Love, Carla
Dear Ed,
Sorry you broke your ankle on our sprinkler head.
Love, Carla
Dear Kelly,
I’m sorry for every single fight we had growing up. I truly am.
Love, Carla

Carla! I remember those snakes! You could win them at the fair! Thanks for the memories!
I had a green stuffed snake. I loved my snake. I wish I had a picture of it. I slept with all my stuffed animals as a bit of circle of protection. When I heard there was an orphanage where children lived that had very little, I packed up all my stuffed animals as loved as they were and as needed for protection as they were and sent them to those children. I cried for days afterwards. I felt good about it because I knew my loved animals would be spread around to comfort and protect and maybe even find these children homes, at least I had my grandmother’s house to go to when things got bad! I felt rich indeed!
I’m enjoying this thread…b
What a wonderful picture! It made my day! I can see where your love for painting animals comes from! And what a great exercise to make letters to people from your past! I must try it too! Looking forward to your daily posts!
Cute pic!
