Too funny! That is one very specific girl. I’m waiting for the big day with my oldest.
Bittersweet.

Sincere. Specific. Sweet. I think I’ll try that the next time I ask for something I truly want or need.

Patti-I have just discovered 37days.com after buying your book, which I found on one of those wonderful days I took to the bookstore – a day when I had all the time in the world – and row by row looked at one lovely book after another, always thinking of the stories behind them. Thanks for a lovely book.

This note reminded me of one my now 19 year old son wrote to the tooth fairy when he was 6 or 7. He lost the tooth that he was supposed to put under the pillow but was certain that someone had stolen it for their own profit. His note read (: Dear Tooth Fairy: Someone has stolen my tooth! Whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE THEM MY MONEY!
