Perspective.

So I sucked it up and sent cards out. It was my Aunties card that did it. Evelyn is suffering from alzheimers and sent cards. She didn't remember our surname and just addressed it to AnneMarie & Eddie with our address and it reached us. What killed me the most is that Evelyn is renowned for her fabulous handwriting. Its the kind that people are always looking for when they send out wedding invitations. As a matter of fact after her babies were born and she was a stay at home mum, in order to get a bit of extra cash she set up her own business, teaching people how to write like this and also taking in invitations to write for weddings/christenings etc. It wasn't millionaire making but she made enough to bring her family away on holidays to the sea each year.

However her handwriting this year made it clear that she's getting sicker. It was wobbly and sometimes illegable. It was written with love though which is the main thing. When I was writing the cards I made sure to write hers in the style that she thought me to. I wonder if she'll remember?
